Story of a coolie who used the railroad’s Wi-Fi to pass the UPSC exam
Because of his tenacity, he was able to pass the Kerala Public Service Exam (KPSC), but he wasn't content. He returned to his studies and passed the UPSC Civil Services Exam.
UPSC exam:
Sreenath K passed the test that is regarded as the toughest in the nation without any resources, unlike some people who mourn their fate if they fail while having all the resources. We are going to talk about an IAS officer named Sreenath K today in this success story. Sreenath K studied using the railroad’s free WiFi, did not attend any coaching, and worked as a porter.
Sreenath never pleaded for luck or depended on resources; instead, he accepted what came his way and continued to work diligently towards his objective. He demonstrated that all it takes to be successful is passion.
People depend on coaching centres, books, and study sessions to pass UPSC, one of the hardest exams, yet Kerala-based coolie Sreenath passed the test by using a Railways Wi-fi connection.
He is an Ernakulam-born local who worked as a coolie to support his family. Being the only source of income for the family, he was an extremely dedicated worker. He used to work in two shifts, but his daily earnings were only between Rs. 400 and Rs. 500. But he persisted, and his tenacity helped things work out for him. At the age of 27, after becoming a father to a daughter who was one year old, he realised that his salary was not enough to support his family.
He attempted the UPSC test three times before passing it. He put forth a lot of effort and self-confidence each time. The moment he failed the UPSC test a third time, he reported that, it simply requires patience and practise.
Due to his family’s circumstances, Sreenath was unable to quit his employment. He therefore decided to complete the two duties at the same time. Without affecting his employment, he just took advantage of the small advantage he had at work to study for the exam.
Sreenath began preparing for the UPSC exam, but he was short on funds, so he had to rely on his phone and the wi-fi at the railway instead. He utilised his smartphone to take lectures online rather than shelling out money for coaching and expensive study materials. He started listening to online classes while he was working at the radio.
At Mumbai Central Railway Station, where the government had begun offering free Wi-Fi in 2016, he decided to start working while also learning.
Because of his tenacity, he was able to pass the Kerala Public Service Exam (KPSC), but he wasn’t content. He returned to his studies and passed the UPSC Civil Services Exam. In his fourth try to be a member of the IAS, he succeeded in clearing the civil service.
