Father carried bricks, mother cooked meals at various homes, son cracks UPSC, becomes youngest IPS Officer of India, he is..., AIR rank was...
The Union Public Service Commission(UPSC) conducts the civil services examination annually to recruit candidates for the posts of IAS, IPS, and other services. There are some individuals who hail from a poor background, yet clear the exam with a good rank. One such person is Safin Hasan.
Who is the youngest IPS officer whose parents struggled hard for his success?
Safin Hasan was born in 1995 in Palanpur, Gujarat. According to several media reports, his parents used to work in the diamond industry, where they lost their jobs in 2000. Subsequently, after that time, his mother worked as a cook for others while his father made a living carrying bricks. Both sold boiled eggs off a cart in the evening to support their family.
Even with all these unfavorable circumstances, Safin was dreaming big. When a district collector came to visit their school, it instilled a deep urge in him for wanting to become an IAS officer. His school exempted him from any fees for his 11th and 12th grades. With the help of relatives for post-high school education, he was able to enter an engineering college.
But fate had other trials in mind for him. In 2017, while going to appear for the UPSC exam, Safin got into a major accident. Despite suffering severe injuries, Safin completed the UPSC examination, then had to go into the hospital for multiple surgeries and physiotherapy sessions immediately following the accident. He never relinquished hope.
Finally, it was all worth it. Safin Hasan achieved an All India Rank(AIR) of 570 from the UPSC examination and became an IPS officer at 22 years old. Today, Safin Hasan embodies hope and is an inspiration for millions of young people. He has shown that no situation is impossible, and that with pure intent and true passion, nothing is out of your reach.
Hasan Safin Mustufaali secured an impressive All-India Rank (AIR) of 570 in the UPSC Civil Services (Main) Examination 2017. He scored 798 marks in the written exam, 204 in the personality test, and a total of 1002 marks overall.
