Why This Rajasthan Family Is Known As India's ‘IAS Factory'
Two remarkable families, from Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, have produced multiple IAS and IPS officers—proving that legacy, dedication, and education shape success UPSC Success Stories: A family from Naharsinghpura village in Bamanwas, located in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur district, has recently captured national attention. Dubbed the 'IAS factory', this remarkable family has produced six Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers, an exceptional feat by any standard. The latest addition to this legacy is Arnab Pratap Singh, who secured an All-India Rank of 430 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2022. His academic journey is equally commendable: he holds an MBBS degree from Maulana Azad Medical College, Lucknow, and received his early education at City Montessori School (CMS) in Lucknow and Delhi Public School (DPS) in Delhi. Arnab hails from a family steeped in the civil services tradition. His father, Babulal Meena, is a 1991 batch IAS officer currently serving in Uttar Pradesh. His mother, Veena Meena, is also an IAS officer, having joined the 1993 batch, and serves in the same cadre. The family's distinguished record continues with Arnab's uncle, Dr Battilal Meena (his father's elder brother), a retired IAS officer who has been instrumental in shaping this legacy. Adding to this impressive lineage are two of Arnab's cousins, daughters of his uncles, both of whom successfully cleared the UPSC in 2016 and are currently serving as IAS officers in the Gujarat cadre. The family's unwavering dedication to public service across generations is nothing short of inspiring, setting a benchmark for aspirants nationwide. A similar tale of success emerges from Lalganj, a small town in the Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh. Here, the Mishra family has carved its own unique place in UPSC history. Four siblings from this household have gone on to become IAS and IPS officers; an extraordinary accomplishment achieved through perseverance, resilience, and sheer merit. The journey began in 2013 with Yogesh Mishra, who was the first in the family to crack the UPSC. Inspired by him, his sister Madhavi Mishra entered the Indian Administrative Service in 2015. Their elder sister, Kshama Mishra, overcame significant personal and financial hardships to become an IPS officer in 2016. The youngest, Lokesh Mishra, later joined the civil services as an IAS officer, completing the family's remarkable quartet of success. The achievements of the Mishra siblings are well recognised in their region, and they continue to serve as a powerful source of motivation for local youth. Their story proves that with determination and hard work, even the most ambitious goals can be achieved. A Legacy Of Service And Inspiration The stories of the Meena and Mishra families serve as shining examples of what sustained effort, a strong educational foundation, and family support can accomplish. With multiple members from single families entering the civil services, their achievements go beyond personal success; they inspire entire communities and demonstrate the transformative power of education and ambition. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
