Despite Being Visually Impaired, Roshan Kumar Clears JPSC; Set To Become Officer
Roshan Kumar, despite being visually impaired and facing financial hardships, secured the 340th rank in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission exam.
An inspiring story has emerged from Koderma in Jharkhand, where a sister devoted her time and effort to support her visually impaired brother, becoming his eyes and guiding him to the examination hall. Acting as a scribe during the exam, she wrote the entire answer sheet, resulting in her brother's success at the age of 22.
Roshan Kumar, despite being visually impaired and facing financial hardships, secured the 340th rank in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission exam and was selected for the Jharkhand Finance Service. He suffers from a vision defect called Nystagmus, causing blurred vision since birth. Nonetheless, Roshan persevered through his challenges. His elder brother Sanjeev shared that Roshan was previously selected for a position in the post office and currently resides in Vardhman.
Roshan's younger sister, Sneha, took on the role of scribe during the exam, reading questions and writing answers as dictated by her brother. Following his success in the preliminary exam, Sneha assisted him in preparing for the main exam by discussing mock test questions from the coaching institute over the phone and sending written answers in PDF format for review. Their efforts symbolised the deep love and dedication between the siblings. The entire family rejoiced when the exam results were announced.
Sneha shared that Roshan often visited government offices where officials did not treat him properly. This experience motivated Roshan to become a senior officer to serve the needy and helpless. He faced significant difficulties while attempting to obtain a ration card, including the lack of assistance from helpline numbers, which compounded his challenges similar to those faced by ordinary citizens.
The JPSC final result of the Combined Civil Service Examination 2023 was declared on July 25. This recruitment process was conducted to fill 342 vacancies across various state services in Jharkhand. To be eligible for the examination, candidates needed to hold a graduation degree from a recognised university or institution.
