Naveen Kumar, an IAS officer from the 2007 batch belonging to the Uttar Pradesh cadre, recently took to the social media platform, Instagram, to reflect on his transformative journey from Old Rajinder Nagar to a dedicated pursuit of public service. Drawing parallels with the movie ’12th Fail’, he shared poignant insights into his days spent in the UPSC hub of Old Rajinder Nagar, showcasing the evolution and challenges that shaped his path towards public service.

In his post, Mr. Kumar wrote, “In the heart of Old Rajinder Nagar, where dreams resonate in every corner, I’ve found a second home amidst the hustle of UPSC aspirations. The air is thick with the hopes of thousands, each carving a unique path towards the daunting yet promising realm of civil services.”

He further added that wandering through those familiar lanes feels like a pilgrimage, a reminder of shared ambitions and shared struggles. “It’s more than just a journey; it’s a collective heartbeat, pulsating with determination and dreams.”

Reflecting on his collective experiences, he shared, that “12th Fail” strikes a chord, weaving tales of triumph against all odds, as the protagonist’s journey mirrors the resilience we witness around us, turning setbacks into stepping stones towards a brighter future.

“As I navigate this rollercoaster journey, the grit, the late-night study sessions, and the shared laughter in the face of adversity make it more than a mere pursuit of knowledge. It’s a human experience – messy, challenging, and profoundly beautiful. Here’s to the transformative power of education, the spirit of the aspirants, and the shared commitment to a future where each of us plays a role in shaping the destiny of our beloved nation!,” he added.
