A dedicated aspirant and a doting son, newly appointed IAS officer Vasu Jain’s mother’s happiness knew no bounds when he became a UPSC CSE achiever in 2020, after scoring an All India Rank of 67!

Even though the achievement did not come easy to him as he struggled a lot and faced failures twice before achieving his dream, Mr. Jain did not lose hope and kept trying until he succeeded.
