Bulandshahr (Uttar Pradesh), April 17 (ANI): Pawan Kumar, the son of a labourer cleared the UPSC 2023 exam to secure AIR 239. Speaking about his journey, the youngster shared a video on April 17. In the video, Pawan Kumar thanked his parents and also spoke about the hardships he had to endure. Pawan Kumar said, "This was my third attempt. My family had a very big role to play in my journey, especially my parents and my sisters... The exam is tough and the syllabus is very vast, but it is not impossible to crack it. Taking coaching is not necessary. The condition of my family was such that I could not afford such expensive coaching classes. I mostly did self-study... You can make use of the internet for help, and carry on with honesty in your attempts... Perseverance is very important." Pawan Kumar's sister Goldie said, "We lived in a peaceful environment and he liked silence. He lived and studied under this roof, and when there was no electricity, he would study in the light of the kerosene lamp. We did all sorts of odd jobs for money... He needed a mobile phone, so we all worked hard to afford a phone for him so he could study." Pawan Kumar's mother Suman Devi said, "I feel good that we got to see this day. We have a thatch roof that leaked when it rained. It caused us a lot of trouble. We don't have money to be able to afford a gas cylinder, that's why we still use a stove. I worked hard as a laborer... He would study at home in silence, using his mobile phone."
