Gotla Palli Mauza (Padamul Mandal) Tandur Town (Vikarabad District / Hafeezpet, Hyderabad, TELANGANA :
Mohammad Ashfaq
Mohammad Ashfaq of Tandoor, a small town in Telangana, who cleared the Civil Services examination 2023 on his fourth attempt gives credit to his family, especially his mother, for his achievement.
Muhammad Ashfaq said that his mother realized the importance of education and despite he being the only child sent him to Delhi to do his graduation and post-graduation studies. “For my bright future, my mother looked alone after the family and never bothered me with problems at home.”
A sensitive soul, Muhammad Ashfaq gives full credit for his success to his parents.
Speaking with Awaz-The Voice, Mohammad Ashfaq attributed his success to his parents and elder sister. He said that his father dreamed that his son would become a civil servant. “At every stage of my life, my father not only encouraged me but also instilled determination to reach the goal in me. His words motivated and made me determined to clear the examination.”
Mohammad Ashfaq said at the time he thought of picking a corporate job but his father reminded me of my dream and goal. “I can never forget the role my parents and elder sister played in my educational journey,” he said.
Muhammad Ashfaq was a bright child from the beginning. He passed his SSC from Janapriya High School and completed his graduation in Economics from Shri Ram College of Commerce, New Delhi in 2020. Two years later he completed his master’s in Economics from Delhi School of Economics.

He joined coaching for the civil services from his intermediate class. He wrote his first civil services exam in the year 2020, soon after completing his graduation.
He did not succeed. It was the same in his next two examinations. Failures did not deter him; he continued to pursue his dream with renewed determination and courage.
Muhammad Ashfaq is a native of Gotla Palli Mauza of Padamul mandal of Tandoor. Currently, he resides in Hafeezpet, Hyderabad. His father Mohammad Jafar has an engineering works company at BHEL Ashoknagar. Mother Rizwana Begum is a homemaker.
Mohammad Ashfaq’s elder sister Uzma Sultana is a dentist. His father Mohammad Jafar dreamt of his children having good careers and he is the happiest man today.
Mohammad Jafar moved to Hyderabad in 1992 from Tandoor and started working as a scooter mechanic for a small salary. Later he established his engineering works company.
Ahmed Ashfaq’s grandfather Abdul Razzaq and Grandmother Syedan B live in their ancestral village. They were overjoyed at Nabirah’s success in the civil services examination and celebrated it by distributing sweets among the villagers.
Muhammad Ashfaq is thus the epitome of a never-give-up spirit. His story tells the youth never to be a victim of despair hopelessness or failure.
He said that instead of being discouraged by failures, one should get motivated and try to move forward by addressing one’s shortcomings. He said that hard work never goes in vain.
Muhammad Ashfaq said that as a civil servant, he will focus on the development of the country, service to the people as well as the elimination of corruption. He said that corruption has become a problem in the administration today. They know that they cannot eradicate corruption alone, but they will try their best to eradicate corruption with the cooperation of all honest officials. He said that he would try his best to bring the administration to the doorstep of the people.
Muhammad Ashfaq said that although he has achieved success in civil services, he may get a job in IPS or IRS depending on his rank, but his aim is IAS and he will write the exam again for it.

Malcolm X rightly said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
Dr Wasim and Tanweer Ahmad perhaps had the same thoughts in their minds as they came up with the idea of providing an enriching environment to those who cannot afford the luxury of education. They along with their colleagues left their comforts of life and well-established occupation to impart education to the underprivileged children of their home district i.e. Siwan.
Dr Wasim along with Tanweer Ahmad, Sharique Ahmad, and Sana Hussain, were keen to establish an institution that would serve as a ladder to the children who were underprivileged and could not afford basic education due to the paltry amount of resources.
Dr Wasim is a doctor from Aligarh and has completed his education from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). He worked in a government hospital but gave up his job, to educate the children who are the leaders of tomorrow and who are the faces of our future.
Tanweer Ahmad, who hails from Siwan itself has completed his MBA from Williams college of LONDON and holds the post of the Director and he juggles between the tasks of administration as well as imparting knowledge to the children.
Sana Hussain, who holds the post of the Principal at the school, has achieved her master’s degree from South Korea. She works hard to maintain the smooth functioning of this institution’s administration and imparts education to the blooming buds.
Sharique Ahmad, who is also a pillar of this school, has achieved his double master’s degree in Education and English from Delhi University and AMU respectively. He works as a student counsellor and teachers’ trainer at the school. He aims at not only providing efficient educators but also endeavours to become a patient listener and a solution provider to these curious and creative minds.
They established a school named ‘bloombuds’ in Barharia, Bihar. Bloombuds was an idea born due to the concerns of its founders over rising illiteracy rates in certain parts of Bihar. The school came into existence in January 2016.
“This school has been established with the idea of providing an enriching environment to those who cannot afford the luxury of education”, says Dr Wasim, the chairman of the school.
Sana Hussain says, “We are constantly endeavouring to provide all essential facilities for the children. We aim at providing every facility that we couldn’t get while we were students; we are constantly working to educate the young minds. We are often told that we shouldn’t have left our jobs and compromised on our well-settled future but the contentment we derive out of imparting knowledge to these underprivileged children and providing them with resources that could help them lead a better life is unmatchable.”
These four pillars of bloombuds are in a constant endeavour at providing all essential facilities for the children. They aim at providing every facility that they couldn’t get while they were students; they are constantly working to educate the young minds. They are continuously struggling to impart knowledge to these underprivileged children, so as to provide them with resources that could help them to lead a better life.
This institution has not only provided educational aid but has also stood by its children through all thick and thins.
These mentors took complete responsibility of their students from selecting the students for the entrance exam to allowing them a stay at the hostel and preparing them from beforehand.
Dr Wasim says, “We brought these students to Delhi for their exam and stayed with them until they were back safe. To promote girls’ education, Bloombuds provided 50% discount on the admission fee for girls in the last couple of years. The bloombuds family has set an example of what overall support and aid should be like.”
“Due to the collective support, hard work and indulgence, the Bloombuds family feels very proud of the selection of its six students. These students of bloombuds have cracked the Jamia Millia Islamia School’s class 9th entrance examination. We couldn’t be happier”, he added.
When we inquired about the background of these students, we came to know that all these students belong to families where they believe that education is only for the rich and the upper class. The parents due to insufficient resources are not able to provide their children with adequate facilities, almost all the mothers are homemakers, fathers either work as drivers or in chemist shops or are shopkeepers, some even work as farmers and have little or no educational qualifications. Nevertheless, these students with their hard work and a little encouragement proved that one can achieve anything with the help of committed guidance and supervision. The parents at first were sceptical to send their children to this university, but when they saw the environment, they at once knew that this was the best for their children.
The parents due to insufficient resources are not able to provide their children with adequate facilities, almost all the mothers of these students are homemakers, and one of them is a teacher in a government school. The fathers either work as drivers or in a chemist shop or shopkeepers, some even work as farmers and have little or no educational qualification. But these students with their hard work and a little encouragement proved that one can achieve anything with the help of committed guidance and supervision. They made their parents and teachers proud after cracking the entrance exam. Four out of six students are girls, and all belong to rural areas.
On how important this result was to him, Sharique Ahmed says, “For the people belonging to a small town like Siwan, Jamia and Aligarh are a dream place to study not just for students but also for parents. Siwan is a place which is known for coaching centres and too expensive, but this school made it easy. They used to organize free coaching in summer vacation for the students as well,”
Talking about the obstacles faced in this journey, he adds, “In this blooming, there is only one hurdle and that is a hostel for girls. Parents are ready to send their children to Jamia, but their main concern is the hostel. While interviewing Zeba’s father, Mr Wahabuddin who is working in the Gulf also has only one condition and that is a hostel. So, the movement which has been started by Bloombud is becoming smooth day by day, but accommodation is one obstruction in this metro city.”

Summary
In the heart of bustling Kolkata, where the cacophony of life reverberates through narrow alleyways, there lies a tale of grit, determination and unyielding hope.
Meet Farheen Masood, a champion of resilience whose journey from humble beginnings to corporate corridors is as inspiring as it is extraordinary.
In the heart of bustling Kolkata, where the cacophony of life reverberates through narrow alleyways, there lies a tale of grit, determination, and unyielding hope. Meet Farheen Masood, a champion of resilience whose journey from humble beginnings to corporate corridors is as inspiring as it is extraordinary.
Chapter 1: A Dream Ignited
She was raised in a modest household by hardworking parents who were filled with aspirations – her father a security guard and her mother a homemaker.
“My mother could not complete her schooling although she was a good student. That is why she was always keen on us (she and her two siblings) completing our education. Despite our financial struggles, she instilled in us the belief that education was the key to unlocking a better future. My mother became my source of inspiration,” reminisced Farheen, her voice reflecting the unwavering resolve that would come to define her journey.

Chapter 2: Echoes of Empowerment
As the days unfolded, Farheen found inspiration within the corridors of AK Fazlul Haq School and Khalsa English High School. It was there that she discovered her passion for public speaking. “What I am today, in terms of my confidence in speaking and everything else, is due to the education I received in my schools. I used to participate in monthly debates and extempore competitions and my teachers would always motivate me. That helped sharpen my communication skills,” she shared with us in words that echoed the profound impact of her formative years.

Chapter 3: A Path Revealed
Today Farheen stands tall empowered with a Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) degree with specialisation in Analytics and Marketing from Praxis Business School and working as a Management Trainee (Operations) at DHL Global Forwarding. So what inspired her to pursue studies in this field?
She recalled, “Though I initially opted for the science stream in my plus 2, I soon realised that my heart was not in it. That is when my uncle guided me to consider management studies. He told me about all the career opportunities that would open up for me if I did a PGDM/ MBA degree; and that would help me achieve the success I had always dreamed of.”

Chapter 4: Praxis: A Journey Within
At business school, amidst the nurturing learning environment, Farheen’s metamorphosis began. “After joining , I was made a Placecom member. I was responsible for coordinating the students’ placement process, acting as a bridge between them and our college’s placement cell. It gave me the opportunity to connect with various HR heads, thereby helping me make connections. I felt more confident through meeting and speaking with new people. Moreover, I learned management skills which gave me the confidence to handle challenging situations,” she said while recounting the perks of studying in a truly enabling educational environment.

Chapter 5: The Tapestry of Experience
Further into the conversation we learned that, in her bid to craft a successful career path, alongside excelling in her PGDM programme at Praxis, Farheen had also gained real world experience through an array of internships with reputable brands spanning fundraising, sales and digital marketing. “Internships gave me practical training before entering the corporate workplace. I had done fieldwork too. That opened up different aspects of business management to me. I met new people and expanded my network. Also, I learned that if one has an idea, one needs to voice it. Not wait for the person on the other side to ask,” she affirmed, emphasising the importance of hands-on learning.

Chapter 6: Words of Encouragement
While Farheen gazed upon the gamut of her achievements, we asked what would her advice for young people who are striving against life’s challenges be.
“One should not stop dreaming!” she proclaimed, her words infused with the determination of a go-getter. “Always be eager to learn, stay kind and just keep going. The avenues will open up sooner than later,” she said confidently.
As the sun set over the city of Kolkata, casting its golden hues upon the distant horizon, Farheen Masood appeared before us as an embodiment of the indomitable human spirit!
From humble beginnings to soaring heights, Farheen’s journey reinforces the transformative power of education yet again and serves as a source of hope for generations to come, irrespective of their challenging circumstances!

Atif Waqar, who cleared Civil services examination
“Abbu always told me to keep trying as long as I can, and never give up. My parents supported and asked me to focus on my studies and not worry about other things. My Abbu and Ammi are my inspiration.”
Atif Waqar, one of the 50 Muslim candidates who cracked the Combined Civil Services examination held by the UPSC on his sixth attempt, said.
The focus on Muslim candidates is because of a perception that the community lags in social empowerment and needs to catch up with others.
This is the highest number of Muslims to clear this coveted examination in recent years.
Of these, 31 successful candidates have received their coaching at the Residential Coaching Academy (RCA) of the Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. This is an 8 percent increase in the success rate of RCA.
Atif Waqar speaking with Mohammad Akram
Atif Waqar also received his coaching from the RCA and secured 819th rank. He hails from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, where his parents are government teachers.
Atif Waqar is currently posted as the Block Developmental Officer (BDO) in the Nawada district of Bihar.
Speaking to Awaz-the Voice, Atif Waqar said that residential coaching at Jamia Millia played an important role in his success.
“One gets ample motivation at the RCA. The coaching made us interested in clearing UPSC from the beginning. However, when I realized that I was not able to clear the examination, I started taking the State PCS exam and I got selected for Bihar Public Service Commission.”
I asked him why so many aspirants from Bihar, UP, and Jharkhand appear for the civil services examination of the UPSC.
Waqar said that there is a lack of industries in these two states and therefore fewer job opportunities for the youth. As they grow in this environment, they start working on securing government jobs of which the top job is of the civil servant.
“The same happened to me. When I saw my friends joining RCA I was motivated to do the same.”, he told Awaz-the Voice.
About his preparation for the examinations, Waqar said one has to work hard for it. “One always has to keep bookish knowledge in mind. It is necessary to read the same thing again and again, and also one has to take breaks in between, drink tea, play cricket, volleyball, carom, to keep mind light.’
Waqar says that he lived in Jamia Milia Islamia’s hostel for 3 years in the RCA coaching. I did not get disheartened even after failing repeatedly. For me, Jamia is a big factor in my success.
