How Safna Nazarudeen Became Kerala’s Youngest Muslim Woman IAS Officer

Amazing Feats, Community Involvement / Social Issues, Education - Gold Medallists, Toppers, Merits, Achievers (wef. June 12th, 2023), Leaders, Leadership : IAS, IFS, IPS, IRS, IFoS, IAAS (incl.) all UPSC Services (wef. 18 June 2026), Women/Girls(since May26-2021), , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Valiyavila (Thiruvananthapuram) , KERALA :

Safna Nazarudeen, youngest Muslim woman from Kerala to crack UPSC with All India Rank 45, now serves as Labour Commissioner. Her journey from a Kendriya Vidyalaya student to an IAS officer reveals the power of early focus, disciplined routines and a desire to serve.

Growing up in Valiyavila, Thiruvananthapuram, Safna Nazarudeen was surrounded by the world of public service. Her father rose from the ranks of the Kerala Police, eventually retiring as an inspector. Her mother worked as a typist in the state employment exchange. From an early age, Safna watched the values of discipline, dedication, and community service take shape in her household.

It was around class 8 when she first entertained the idea of joining the civil services, not because she knew the mechanics of the exam, but because she sensed that an IAS officer could do a lot for society.

She attended Kendriya Vidyalaya, excelling academically and choosing the social sciences stream, against her father’s wish for science. Undeterred, she pursued a BA in Economics at Mar Ivanios College, topping the Kerala University in her batch.

CRACKING THE UPSC IN HER FIRST ATTEMPT

In 2020, at the age of 23, Safna cleared the Union Public Service Commission exam in her first attempt, securing All India Rank 45. She became the youngest Muslim woman from Kerala to enter the IAS.

Her preparation followed a rigorous pattern: she turned off social media, spent two hours daily on newspapers, attended coaching classes, and devoted 7-10 hours to self-study every day. She also kept a dedicated notebook to jot down what she studied for weekend revision.

Public speaking was a challenge at first, so she practised by speaking on selected topics daily in front of a mirror, a method suggested by her mentors.

FROM ASSISTANT COLLECTOR TO LABOUR COMMISSIONER

Once she entered the Kerala cadre of the IAS (Batch 2020), Safna was posted in Malappuram district as Deputy or Assistant Collector. Over time, she rose to become the Labour Commissioner, heading the Labour Commissionerate, Government of Kerala (Thozhil Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram).

Her role now involves dealing with migrant labour issues, irregular employment, unemployment and implementation of labour laws across multiple industries.

In a recent government order, she was also given an additional charge as Director of the Fisheries Department.

VALUES, APPROACH AND LEADERSHIP STYLE

While the public often assumes that bureaucrats are always under strong political pressure, Safna says the reality is more complex. Multiple stakeholders need to be consulted and aligned before solutions that benefit all can be implemented. She says that while busy days are inevitable, there are also comparatively lighter days and that the job offers a mix of responsibility and reasonable balance.

Her early life, seeing a working‐class household, understanding privilege and the importance of service, shaped her commitment. She has spoken of recognising during her school days that she was more privileged than many, and that propelled her to aspire to serve people who were less advantaged.

WHAT HER STORY OFFERS TO ASPIRANTS

  • Start early with your goal: Safna’s idea of joining IAS surfaced as a teenager, even without full clarity of the exam system.
  • Make your dream your own: It wasn’t family pressure; it was her personal choice, and she owned it.
  • Structure matters: A disciplined routine, self-study and regular revision helped build momentum.
  • Complement knowledge with skills: She recognised the importance of speaking and presentation early.
  • Service mindset: Her ambition was not just personal status but to bring change and fairness for others.

LOOKING FORWARD

At a still young age in her bureaucratic career, Safna’s journey is already remarkable. But there is room ahead for deeper policy initiatives, sectoral reforms in labour, and perhaps district- or state-wide programmes that shape livelihoods and rights. Her trajectory suggests that when the aspiration aligns with preparation and execution, leadership roles in public service open up, and they carry the potential to impact lives.

Rajasthan: Adil Khan gifts car, cash to girl 10th toppers from govt. school

Education - Gold Medallists, Toppers, Merits, Achievers (wef. June 12th, 2023), Leaders, , , , , , , , , ,

Rolsahabsar Village (Sikar District), RAJASTHAN :

In a remarkable gesture, a spirited villager in Rajasthan gifted a car to a girl who topped in her government school, along with cash rewards to other high-performing students, in the Class 10 examination conducted by the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education.

The incident took place in Rolsahabsar, a small village in Sikar district, where the generous benefactor, and a social worker Adil Khan, presented a Swift Dzire car to Anzal Khan, who scored an impressive 95.5 per cent.

Such an initiative is rare, especially at a time when media attention often focuses on the achievements of private schools in board examinations. Against this backdrop, Adil Khan’s effort stands out as a meaningful recognition of both girl power and the improving standards of government schools.

Anzal Khan, a student of Government Higher Secondary School, Rolsahabsar, was handed over the keys to the car—valued between ₹8–12 lakh—at a function held in the village’s main square.

In addition, Adil Khan awarded ₹1 lakh each to five other girls who scored above 90 per cent in the board exams. The recipients included Aksha Khan, Sophia Khan, Payal Kumari, Ruqya Bano, and Farheen Khan.

The joy and pride on the faces of the award-winning students were evident. The recognition not only boosted their confidence but also inspired others in the community.

The ceremony was attended by Bajrang Lal Swami, Additional Director of RSCERT Udaipur, and Fatehpur MLA Hakeem Ali Khan, who graced the event as chief guests. They praised Adil Khan’s initiative, noting that such efforts bring positive change to society and reinforce the importance of education.

Other meritorious students from the village were also honoured, along with teachers from three government schools for their outstanding results. The event became a platform to celebrate hard work, dedication, and commitment.

What makes Adil Khan’s gesture even more noteworthy is that he is not a prominent industrialist but an ordinary villager who funded the entire initiative with his own earnings. His actions have struck a chord with people, demonstrating that meaningful change requires not just resources, but also conviction and purpose.

Though not among the wealthiest in the village, Adil Khan has a big heart and a strong vision. He expressed his desire to see the daughters of Rolsahabsar rise to top positions in services such as the IAS, IPS, and judiciary. He also said that the village should be known not only for politics but for its commitment to education.

He has announced that he will continue to honour meritorious female students over the next three years.

The announcement has generated fresh enthusiasm in the village. Parents are increasingly motivated to educate their daughters, while students are striving harder to excel academically and qualify for such recognition.

Adil Khan’s initiative is gradually transforming the social fabric of the village. Where once there was hesitation in sending girls to school, there is now a sense of pride.

The ceremony drew a large gathering of villagers, teachers, students, and public representatives, fostering a new mindset and a progressive way of thinking.

His initiative has been widely appreciated across the region, sparking conversations about the importance of educating girls. The celebration has sent out a powerful message: when given the right opportunities, daughters can achieve anything.

Breaking Barriers: How a Madrasa Student Conquered State Rank 1 in EAPCET

Amazing Feats, Education - Gold Medallists, Toppers, Merits, Achievers (wef. June 12th, 2023),

Hyderabad, TELANGANA :

From the traditional corridors of a madrasa to the absolute pinnacle of state-level academics, Mukaram Ahmed’s extraordinary triumph in EAPCET-2026 shatters deep-seated social stereotypes and redefines the narrative of grit and determination.

Hyderabad:

In a society where success is increasingly equated with high-decibel corporate coaching, astronomical school fees, and elite English-medium backgrounds, a quiet revolution has taken place in the heart of Telangana. Breaking through every conventional glass ceiling, Mukaram Ahmed, a young boy from a modest madrasa background, has script-written a phenomenal academic folklore by securing the State 1st Rank in the Agriculture and Pharmacy stream of the TS EAPCET-2026.

Overnight, Mukaram has not only become a household name but has also effectively demolished a long-standing social stereotype, proving that traditional schooling and a lack of elite resources are no match for unyielding willpower.

Bridging Two Worlds: The Paradigm Shift

The transition from the traditional rote learning of an Urdu-medium madrasa to the highly competitive, technically demanding arena of a state-level entrance exam is nothing short of a Herculean leap. Yet, Mukaram managed this transition with poetic grace.

After completing his initial education within the structured, spiritual environment of a madrasa, his raw talent found its perfect catalyst in the Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGMREIS). Provided with high-quality, free residential education and targeted competitive training, Mukaram didn’t just compete; he dominated.

His spectacular feat was prominently splashed across the front page of the prominent Urdu weekly GAWAH, serving as an immediate validation of his hard work.

Inside the Topper’s Playbook:

The 10-Hour Grind: Unflinching commitment of studying 8 to 10 hours daily with meticulous planning.

Bilingual Master Notes: Synthesising complex scientific concepts by creating personal notes that bridged Urdu terminology with technical English.

The Gurukul Catalyst: Leveraging the rigorous, specialised competitive coaching and constant mentorship offered by the TGMREIS faculty.

A Household of Twin Triumphs: Spirit and Science

Mukaram’s family background is rooted in deep humility and discipline. Raised by parents who viewed education as the ultimate equaliser, the household is currently celebrating a unique, dual milestone that balances both spiritual and secular heights.

While Mukaram’s sister recently memorised the entire Holy Qur’an to earn the revered title of ‘Hafiza’, Mukaram went on to outpace lakhs of students across the state to become the EAPCET topper. For the proud parents, their home has become an emblem of balanced excellence, where deep-rooted values effortlessly coexist with cutting-edge academic ambition.

Healing the Unheard: A Vision for the Future

Unlike many toppers who immediately eye lucrative corporate or tech careers, Mukaram’s heart lies in a much more empathetic domain. When asked about his immediate career roadmap, his eyes light up with a very distinct focus.

“My dream is to secure a seat at the P.V. Narsimha Rao Veterinary University and specialise in Veterinary Science. Human beings can articulate their pain, find words for their suffering, and ask for help. Speechless animals can’t. I want to spend my life understanding their silent agony and becoming a voice for those who cannot speak.”

A Beacon of Inspiration

Mukaram’s victory comes at a time when the Telangana government, under Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, is heavily focusing on strengthening minority residential schooling. Prominent officials, including Minorities Welfare Minister Mohammed Azharuddin, TGMREIS Vice Chairman Mohammed Faheemuddin Qureshi, and Secretary B. Shafiullah (IFS) have hailed the achievement as a watershed moment for minority education in the state.

Mukaram’s journey is a powerful reminder that talent is ubiquitous, even if opportunity is not. By rewriting his own destiny, this young boy from Hyderabad has provided a magnificent blueprint for thousands of underprivileged students across the state, proving that with the right guidance, the sky isn’t the limit; it’s just the beginning.

Dhule District, MAHARASHTRA :

New Delhi :

A young Muslim student from Maharashtra’s Dhule district has brought pride to his hometown after securing second rank in the first-year MBBS examination at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi.

Ansari Fahad Kaleem achieved the distinction at one of India’s most prestigious medical institutions and was honoured during the 51st convocation ceremony of AIIMS Delhi held at Bharat Mandapam.

Fahad was felicitated by Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan and Union Health Minister J. P. Nadda in recognition of his outstanding academic performance.

His success has become a matter of pride not only for his family but for the entire Dhule district, where many residents have described him as an inspiration for students from modest backgrounds.

People close to Fahad say he showed academic promise from an early age and remained deeply committed to his studies throughout school.

He scored 94.6 percent in Class 10 and later secured 97.6 percent in Class 12.

Fahad also cleared the NEET examination in his first attempt with an impressive score of 711 marks, earning admission to AIIMS Delhi, widely regarded as one of the country’s top medical institutions.

Despite the intense academic pressure at AIIMS, Fahad maintained his disciplined approach and secured second rank in the first-year MBBS examinations.

Sources said the difference between the first and second rank holders was only four marks.

Fahad comes from a middle-class family. His father works as an accountant at Dhule Medical College.

Teachers and local residents said his achievement demonstrates how determination and consistent hard work can help students from ordinary backgrounds compete at the highest national level.

Speaking in an interview, Fahad credited faith, discipline and consistency for his success.

“The secret of success is consistency, hard work and trust in Allah,” he said.

Educationists in Maharashtra praised Fahad’s achievement, saying students like him inspire younger generations, especially those from minority and economically weaker communities.

A senior teacher from Dhule said, “Fahad’s success proves that talent exists everywhere. With dedication and family support, students can achieve remarkable success even in the toughest competitive environments.”

His achievement comes at a time when discussions around the NEET examination and medical admissions continue across the country. Amid those debates, Fahad’s story has been widely welcomed as a positive example of academic excellence and perseverance.

Residents in Dhule said the honour received by Fahad on a national platform has motivated many younger students to dream bigger and pursue higher education with confidence.

Several social and educational organisations have also congratulated Fahad and his family on the achievement.

Community members said his journey reflects the growing emphasis on education among Indian Muslim families and the determination of students who continue to excel despite financial and social challenges.

For many young students in Maharashtra and beyond, Fahad Kaleem’s success at AIIMS Delhi is now being seen as a powerful example of how perseverance, family support and commitment to education can open doors to the country’s finest institutions.
