Civil Services exams are considered one of the toughest exams in India to take. There are three parts of the exam which makes it even tougher. But, there are some UPSC aspirants who just not clear the exams but also set a higher benchmark for the next generation.
This story is of S Susree, a daughter of retired CRPF personnel who hung his boot to support his daughter in the UPSC preparation. His name is Sunil Kumar and he was part of the security team protecting then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

A Life-Changing Moment of Youngest IAS officer of Kerala

When PM Singh asked about her dreams then she naively replied that she aspires to become a Civil Servant.
Further, Mr. Singh blessed her and knew that his blessing would motivate her so much that she would clear this mother of all exams in her first attempt.
A great example of good parenting
Susree is the right example of hard work and discipline. Moreover, she didn’t even take any coaching to clear the exam.
