A touching story of success in UPSC this year from a village in Kolhapur, where UPSC isnโt a dream worth dreaming:
When the UPSC 2024 results were announced, Done Birdev Siddhappa wasnโt refreshing the result on a laptop or checking his phone in an AC room. He was out in the fields of his village in Maharashtra, herding his familyโs sheepโjust like he had done for years. On the afternoon of 22nd April, the UPSC results were declared. His friend, Pranjal searched the list and found Birdevโs name at rank 551. He immediately called to congratulate him, only to find that Birdev was out on the hills herding sheep under the scorching sun. When asked why he was herding sheep, Birdev replied that his father had been unwell, so he had to take over.
Born to shepherd parents, Birdev grew up in a modest home where survival came before dreams. He studied in a government school, often helping his parents in the fields during the day and burning the midnight oil to study. With no access to premium coaching or big-city privileges, he prepared mostly through self-study and free online resources.
But what he lacked in resources, he made up for with sheer determination.
May God be good to hearts that dare to dream.
Salute to Done Birdev Siddhappaโan inspiration for every silent struggler.
