Delhi Police Head Constable Ram Bhajan Kumar’s phone has been ringing non-stop since the results of the the prestigious Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination were announced on Tuesday. Kumar, 34, is the first in his family to have a graduate degree and he cleared the civil services exam in his eighth attempt, with a rank of 667.
For the son of a labourer from Rajasthan, who saw his family struggle every day to educate him, clearing the UPSC civil services exam was a dream come true for Kumar. “I was surprised when I saw the results. This was my second-last attempt. I have never been happier. My phone keeps ringing and everyone is congratulating me. My father cried. I think I did too,” said Kumar, who is posted at a cyber cell police station in the South district.
