From delivery boy to civil servant: Jharkhand youth fulfils dream after years of struggle
According to Rajesh, who has secured Rank 271 in the Jharkhand Civil Services Exam, declared early in the morning on Friday, he also had to work in private school to complete his graduation after his father expired just after he passed class 12 exams.
Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) has finally declared the result of the much-awaited Civil Services Examination 2023, where a total of 342 candidates has been declared successful for various administrative posts, with Ashish Akshat securing the first position.
Recalling his days of struggle, Rajesh informed that after the death of his father in 2017, he had lost all hope but continued his studies and completed graduation from Hazaribagh.
'Since, the financial condition of my family is not so good, I had to take up a job of a school teacher at a private school to complete my graduation. After completing my graduation, the world was hit by COVID-19,' said Rajesh Rajak. This proved to be a turning point in his life, he added.
'During the lockdown, I moved to Ranchi and started working as a delivery boy to support my family, but somewhere there was in mind that I have to do something in my life, before it gets wasted,' said Rajesh. The lodge, where I was staying, was full of students preparing for one or the other examination, which kept the urge of studying alive in his heart, he added.

Kerala students await hand-sown harvest as Kannur school marks 16 years of paddy farming tradition
KANNUR: At Niduvaloor AUP School in Chengalayi grama panchayat, excitement runs high as seventh-grade students eagerly await the harvest of the paddy they sowed earlier this year. For the past 16 years, the school has upheld this unique tradition, giving students a hands-on experience in rice cultivation — from sowing seeds to completing the harvest — seamlessly integrated with their academic syllabus. This practice not only deepens their understanding of agriculture but also instils a sense of appreciation and respect for rice farming, which remains an integral part of Kerala's cultural heritage. Biju Niduvaloor, a teacher from Niduvaloor AUP School, said, 'For the past 16 years, seventh-grade students have been actively involved in cultivating paddy in the school's field. Once the harvest is complete, the rice is used to prepare 'Kutharri payasam,' a dessert, which is then shared with all the students. The entire activity is carried out under the guidance of a professional and the supervision of teachers, providing students with a valuable learning experience about the rice cultivation process. The students enthusiastically participate, knowing that after the work is done, they get to wash up and enjoy playing together in a small nearby channel, an experience they look forward to just as much as the farming itself.' The cultivation activity is carried out in connection with several chapters in the seventh-grade syllabus. Students take part in every stage of the process, including transplanting paddy seedlings, applying fertilizers, and harvesting the crop. The school missed the cultivation activity only once, and that was due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The agriculture department supports the school by offering classes, clarifying doubts, and organising various activities to assist and guide the students.

Pahadiya girl defies odds, cracks JPSC exam through self study
Dumka: In a story of hope, strength and perseverance, Babita Singh, a girl from Pahadiya community, cracked the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) 2023 examination, whose results were announced on Friday. Babita, who hails from a particularly vulnerable tribal group (PVTG), is among the 342 candidates from across the state to have made the cut. What makes her stand out from the rest is her unwavering resolve to become a govt officer by overcoming the odds and resisting pressure from her family members and the community to get married. Babita, a resident of Asansol village under Dumka sadar block completed her graduation with mathematics from Sido-Kanhu Murmu University in Dumka in 2018. Her family members insisted her to get married after she failed to crack several competitive examinations. "We insisted her to get married as her attempts to crack competitive examinations for banking, railway and other services continued to turn futile but she remained adamant" said Babita's father Bindulal Singh, who works as a helper in a local private school. "Eventually, I relented," he added. "This was my second attempt to the JPSC examination in which I opted for Khorta language in the optional paper with the other compulsory papers," Babita told the TOI. Babita did not take tuitions and cracked the exam through self-study as she could not afford coaching fee. "I purchased books online and took help of YouTube and other digital platforms," she said.
