Pramod Nagar Village (Jampui Jala Block), TRIPURA :
Taslima Akhtar overcomes severe disability and poverty to score 80 per cent in Madhyamik; Tripura police inspector Ajit Debbarma visits her with an offer of full support
Agartala :
Seventeen-year-old Taslima Akhtar can only see. She cannot speak and cannot hear. Born deaf and dumb, with her right hand also disabled, she understands the world through signs and expressions, and responds with quiet strength.
Despite these challenges, Taslima has shown remarkable academic ability. She scored 80 per cent in her Madhyamik examination, surprising many in her remote village.
Taslima belongs to Pramod Nagar village in the tribal-majority Jampui Jala Block of Tripura. Her father, Syed Ali, is a daily-wage labourer. The family lives in deep poverty and does not have a strong permanent house.
In such conditions, her academic success has become a source of hope for the entire family.
“She has always been good in studies,” her father said. “We are poor people, but she never gave up. She writes with her left hand and studies on her own.”
Because her right hand is disabled, Taslima writes using her left hand. Without any special tutor or extra coaching, she managed to secure 80 per cent in her board examination.
Now she is preparing to appear for the Higher Secondary examination under the Tripura Board, which begins on the 25th of this month.
Police Officer Visits to Encourage
When news of her struggle and achievement reached local authorities, Officer-in-Charge and Inspector Ajit Debbarma of Bishramganj police station visited her home.
Debbarma is known locally for his humanitarian work. After hearing about the bright but underprivileged Muslim girl, he decided to meet her personally.
He brought fruits, nutritious food items and educational materials for Taslima. He also provided some financial assistance to support her studies.
Speaking during the visit, Debbarma said, “Her intelligence and courage have deeply moved me. She has achieved 80 per cent despite so many hardships. I am confident she can score 95 per cent in Higher Secondary.”
He added, “We will support her at every stage, including college admission. I have given my personal phone number to her father. They can contact me whenever they need help.”
Social Media Praise
The gesture of a tribal police officer supporting a poor, disabled Muslim girl has been widely appreciated on social media.
Residents said the visit has sent a positive message. One villager said, “In times when society often talks about division, this kind of support gives hope.”
For Taslima, the path is still difficult. Yet her determination remains firm. Through her eyes and her effort, she continues to move forward, turning silence and darkness into strength through education.
Her father looked at her with pride and said softly, “She cannot speak, but her results speak for her.”

MBBS graduate Dr. A R Rajah Mohaideen secured AIR 7 in UPSC CSE 2025 after three attempts. His journey from Covid-19 hospital wards to civil services reflects purpose, learning, and a wider vision for public health.
When the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2025 results were declared, A R Rajah Mohaideen was not anxiously refreshing a results page like thousands of other aspirants. Instead, he was at the mosque in Jamia Millia Islamia, attending the Friday afternoon prayer during the holy month of Ramzan.
When he returned to his room at the university’s Residential Coaching Academy (RCA), a friend delivered the news that would change everything: he had secured All India Rank 7 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2025.
The 26-year-old doctor from Chennai had hoped to find his name somewhere on the list. A single-digit rank was far beyond what he had imagined.
In an exclusive conversation with Indian Masterminds, the soon-to-become officer shared details about his life, preparation, struggles, and victory.
GROWING UP IN AN ACADEMIC HOUSEHOLD
Rajah Mohaideen was born in Chengalpattu in Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu and raised in Chennai. Education formed the foundation of his upbringing.
Both his parents serve in Tamil Nadu’s government education system. His mother is the principal of R K Nagar Government Arts and Science College in Chennai, while his father heads a Government Teachers’ Training College in Varathanadu near Thanjavur.
An only child, he grew up in an environment where academic pursuit was natural. His schooling took place in the DAV Group of Schools in Gopalapuram, Chennai, where he studied science subjects including physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics.
He later joined Government Cuddalore Medical College (Rajah Muthiah Medical College) under Annamalai University in 2016 and graduated with an MBBS degree in 2022.
“I wasn’t a topper. In school I was maybe third or fourth in class,” he recalled. “I was among the top 10 or 20 per cent, but never the absolute topper.”
THE PANDEMIC THAT CHANGED HIS CAREER PATH
For most of his early life, Rajah Mohaideen had one clear ambition: becoming a doctor. But his final year internship coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic, placing him directly on the medical frontlines. Hospitals were struggling with shortages of oxygen, equipment and protective gear.
During that time, he also observed another set of professionals working intensely behind the scenes: civil servants coordinating supplies, hospital infrastructure and emergency responses.
One particular incident stayed with him. Sanitation workers in his government hospital lacked proper masks. When the local IAS officer visited and heard the concern, N95 masks were quickly arranged.
“I saw how important the administration’s role was,” Rajah told Indian Masterminds. “As a doctor I could serve patients individually. But as a public servant, I felt I could serve a much wider section of people.”
That moment reshaped his career direction. By the time he graduated in 2022, he had decided to prepare for the Civil Services Examination.
THE LONG PREPARATION JOURNEY
Rajah Mohaideen’s UPSC journey stretched across three attempts. His first attempt ended at the Preliminary stage. The setback meant starting the entire process again.
In 2023, he moved from Chennai to Delhi and joined Jamia Millia Islamia’s Residential Coaching Academy, entering an environment where the exam dominates everyday life.
The transition brought new challenges such as language differences, unfamiliar surroundings, and adjusting to North India.
“Initially there was hesitation to interact because of the language barrier. But I learned Hindi gradually and made many friends,” he said.
These friendships soon became a support system during preparation.
A STRATEGY BUILT ON TARGETS, NOT TIMETABLES
Instead of rigid daily schedules, Rajah Mohaideen structured his preparation around clear targets.
“The key is not a fixed timetable but fixed goals,” he said. “For example, finishing a subject in a week or a month. If you miss a day, you put in double the effort the next day and reach the target.”
His preparation included structured mock tests such as Prelims programmes, along with continuous revision and answer-writing practice. He chose Anthropology as his optional subject, a crucial component of the UPSC Mains examination. His mentor, senior IPS officer Mahesh M. Bhagwat, also played a crucial role in preparing him for his personality development round.
By CSE 2025, his third attempt, he cleared Prelims, Mains, and the Interview for the first time, securing AIR 7.
MUSIC: THE QUIET COMPANION IN A DEMANDING JOURNEY
Beyond books and mock tests, another part of Rajah Mohaideen’s life played a key role in keeping him balanced — music.
He has been trained in Carnatic music since childhood, first learning the electronic keyboard and later becoming a vocalist. He has also played instruments such as the kazoo and cajon, and enjoys composing jingles on the keyboard.
“When I felt stressed, I sang or played the keyboard. It calmed my nerves,” he told Indian Masterminds.
Music had been a constant presence throughout his life. In school and college he was part of bands and even served as a cultural secretary during medical college.
INSPIRATION FROM THE HEALTH SECTOR
Rajah Mohaideen’s interest in governance was also shaped by his interaction with senior administrators in the health system.
During his internship, he was part of a student delegation that met Tamil Nadu’s former Health Secretary Dr. J. Radhakrishnan regarding stipend issues faced by interns.
The experience left a deep impression.
“He listened patiently to our concerns and mediated with the administration to resolve them. I realised how much impact someone in that position can have,” Rajah said.
The encounter strengthened his interest in public administration, particularly in the health sector.
MANAGING ISOLATION AND SELF-DOUBT
Preparing for UPSC meant watching many of his medical college friends move ahead with postgraduate degrees and careers. At times, the contrast created uncertainty.
“I saw my friends getting into PG, completing their courses, and working as medical officers. Sometimes I felt I wasn’t doing anything substantial yet,” he admitted.
Staying connected with friends helped him stay grounded. One close friend working as a medical officer in a Primary Health Centre in Ooty often discussed real healthcare challenges with him.
These conversations kept him connected to the ground realities of public health.
AN ATTEMPT TO STAY CONNECTED TO HOME
The UPSC journey demanded sacrifices. He missed family gatherings and friends’ weddings, while many of his medical college peers moved ahead with postgraduate degrees and professional careers. For several years, his own path remained uncertain.
Support from his family and a Tamil Nadu government scholarship for civil services preparation helped sustain him through this period.
Living in Delhi meant long stretches away from Chennai, with visits home limited to a few days at a time. Small routines helped him stay connected to familiar comforts, such as occasional visits to Andhra Bhawan for South Indian flavours like gunpowder and ghee.
These reminders of home offered a brief pause amid the demanding preparation schedule.
A MESSAGE FOR ASPIRANTS
Looking back at the long preparation journey, Rajah Mohaideen believes that aspirants must not forget the reason that brought them to civil services.
“You should always remember the dream that made you start preparing,” he said. “Sometimes people forget the dream and only chase success in prelims or mains.”
He also emphasises mental well-being during preparation.
“Taking care of mental health is very important. Keep your friends and family close. UPSC can be isolating, so finding the right balance is essential.”
LOOKING AHEAD
With AIR 7 in UPSC CSE 2025, Rajah Mohaideen has opted for the Indian Administrative Service and hopes to serve in his home state of Tamil Nadu, though he remains ready to work anywhere in the country.
For a young doctor who once imagined his future inside hospital wards, the goal has expanded far beyond that.
The ambition now is to shape systems that influence healthcare, governance and public welfare, not just for individual patients, but for entire communities.

Usia Village – Kamsarbar (Ghazipur District), UTTAR PRADESH / Kolkata, WEST BENGAL :
The daughter of Kamsarbar village in Uttar Pradesh becomes the first woman civil servant from her area, inspiring Muslim girls across the country
New Delhi :
In a moment of pride for Indian Muslims, especially young women from small towns, Saima Saraj Khan from Kamsarbar in Ghazipur district, Uttar Pradesh, has once again cleared the prestigious Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Examination. This time, she achieved an impressive All India Rank of 135, improving on her earlier success where she secured Rank 165. With this double achievement, Saima joins the rare group of women in the country who have passed the tough exam twice.
Saima, the only daughter among three siblings, hails from Usia village in the Muslim-majority Kamsarbar area of Ghazipur. Her family later moved to Kolkata, where she grew up and studied. Her father, Saraj Ahmad Khan, is a successful businessman and builder, and he played a big role in encouraging her education from childhood. “My father always said education is the biggest power. Once you get it, paths in life open on their own,” Saima recalled.
Most of Saima’s schooling took place in Kolkata. She completed up to Class 8 at St. Paul’s Boarding and Day School in Kidderpore, then did her Class 12 from Ashok Hall Girls Higher Secondary School. She graduated with honours in Sociology from St. Xavier’s College. During her college days, working with an NGO brought her close to real problems faced by people on the ground. “When I met people and saw their struggles, I felt I wanted to help them, even if in a small way. That need for real authority to make change pushed me towards UPSC,” she said.
Saima prepared for the exam at Educate IAS Academy in Kolkata. After clearing prelims in earlier attempts, she also guided other aspirants for some time. Her journey was not easy. She failed three times before her first success in UPSC 2023, which made her the first woman from Kamsarbar to become a civil servant. Each failure tested her deeply. “Every day after those failures, the thought of giving up came. But I had no other plan. All my dreams were tied to UPSC, so I kept going,” she shared.
To focus fully, Saima cut herself off from social media and most social events for four to five years. She rarely visited relatives or attended weddings, limiting outings to occasional meetings with childhood friends once a month. “There was no fixed study time, but I gave as many hours as possible to studies,” she explained.
Her message to other aspirants is clear and practical. “First, be honest with yourself. If you study five hours, focus on quality, not just quantity. Consistency matters most. Don’t worry too much about results—just keep preparing fully.” She also spoke directly to Muslim girls and women: “Dreaming and working to fulfil those dreams is every girl’s right. Women can succeed in any field. Never give up on your dreams.”
Saima’s success brings huge joy to her family, village, and district. People in Ghazipur and beyond see her as a strong example of self-reliance and hard work for Muslim women, where many still face limits on education and careers. Her story shows that with family support and belief in oneself, no goal is too far.
She quoted a line that sums up her journey: “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Saima often repeats that difficulties and failures are part of success. “Don’t let them take over you. Keep pushing.”
Her achievement also connects to Kolkata’s proud history—from Satyendranath Tagore, the first Indian ICS officer from united India, to now Saima becoming the first woman civil servant from Kamsarbar. “Education is the real power,” she stresses, echoing her father’s words from childhood.
As news of her Rank 135 spread, young Muslim girls in Uttar Pradesh and across India are finding fresh hope. Saima proves that with clear goals, steady effort, and strong resolve, women from humble backgrounds can reach the top. In the words of poet Dushyant Kumar that capture her spirit perfectly:
“Kaise aakaash mein suraakh nahin ho sakta
Ek patthar to tabiyat se uchhaalo yaaro”
(How can the sky not have a hole?
Just throw a stone with real courage, friends.)
Saima Khan has thrown that stone with full courage—and broken through barriers for many to follow. Her story is a shining light for education, perseverance, and the power of dreams in the Indian Muslim community.

Adibah Anam, rickshaw driver’s daughter, becomes Maharashtra’s first Muslim woman IAS officer.
Defying immense odds, Adibah Anam, daughter of a rickshaw driver from Yavatmal, Maharashtra, has achieved an extraordinary feat by securing All India Rank 142 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2024.
With this, she becomes the first Muslim woman from her state set to join the prestigious Indian Administrative Service (IAS), according to Clarion India.
Raised in a modest household, Adibah’s story is one of sheer determination and purpose. She began her education in a Zilla Parishad Urdu School, scoring an impressive 94% in SSC and 92.46% in HSC (Science).
Though she once dreamt of becoming a doctor, her maternal uncle, Jan Nizamuddin Sahib, guided her toward civil services, believing she could bring broader change. He supported her emotionally and financially, becoming a pillar in her journey.
Adibah completed her graduation in Mathematics from Abeda Inamdar College, Pune, with 85.20%. Despite clearing the NET exam, she chose not to enter academia and began preparing for the UPSC.
Her early attempts were marked by struggle, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her third attempt, from Mumbai’s Hajj House under Maqsood Khan Sahib’s mentorship, brought her closer, but she still missed the final list.
Refusing to give up, she joined the Residential Coaching Academy at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi, where she finally succeeded. Choosing Urdu Literature as her optional subject despite a science background, she showcased her academic versatility and deep cultural roots.
Her parents remained her silent strength. “My father never asked me to stop. He only said, ‘May Allah make you successful,’” she shared.
Today, Adibah’s success is a beacon of hope for marginalized communities. “This victory belongs to every girl told to stay behind,” she says. “This is just the beginning.” — With Agencies Inputs

Pakalpara Village (Murshidabad District), WEST BENGAL :
A resident of Pakalpara village, Sana secured an All-India Rank of 764 among 958 candidates recommended in the final list of the 2025 examination, making her eligible for the Indian Revenue Service and other Group-A central government services.
Sana Azmi, a 25-year-old Muslim woman from a modest farming family in Murshidabad’s Sagardighi, brought pride and joy to the region this month by qualifying in the prestigious Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
A resident of Pakalpara village, Sana secured an All-India Rank of 764 among 958 candidates recommended in the final list of the 2025 examination, making her eligible for the Indian Revenue Service and other Group-A central government services.
The results of the Civil Services Examination 2025 were declared on March 6.
Though the achievement has been widely celebrated in her village and across Murshidabad district, Sana is dissatisfied with her present rank and has already started preparations to attempt the exam again for a better rank that would enable her to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer.
The Civil Services Examination, conducted annually by the UPSC, is regarded as one of the toughest in the country with three stages — the preliminary, Main and the personality test/interview. Successful candidates are recommended for appointment to the country’s elite administrative services such as the Indian Foreign Service, Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Revenue Service.
Born into a large family with limited means, Sana’s UPSC journey has been remarkable on many fronts. Youngest among 10 siblings, Sana grew up in a family focused on education.
That was largely because of her father, Maijuddin Sheikh. A poor farmer with a small patch of land, he had to discontinue his education after Class IX. But he struggled to ensure that all his children, including his seven daughters, received a proper education.
The results of that commitment are now visible.
Two of Sana’s sisters chose to study medicine — one of them, Beauty Khatun, is a doctor at the Burdwan Medical College and Hospital, while another sister is studying MBBS at the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital in Siliguri.
Sana’s success in the UPSC exam has added another feather to the family’s cap.
Sana began her schooling in her native village.
She studied up to Class VIII at Kabilpur High School in a neighbouring village. She later moved to a residential institution run by the Al-Amin Mission, where she completed her Class X and Class XII. She appeared for the Class XII board exams through a high madarsa in Howrah district and stood first in the district.
Then came the big leap.
Encouraged by her family and her own grades, she took admission to the Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi, where she graduated in English Honours and completed her MA as well.
During her time in Delhi, she also joined the university’s residential coaching academy for civil services aspirants, where she began a systematic preparation for the UPSC exam.
Remarkably, she cleared the Civil Services Examination in her very first attempt in 2025.
“I had strived hard to crack UPSC, and I thank my family members for their support. I am happy to have done it on my first attempt, but I would not have achieved it without the support of my sister Beauty Khatun. She sent me to Delhi to fulfil my dream. I will take up the job, but ultimately will try to fulfil my dream to become an IAS officer,” said a reclusive Sana, who spoke to the media through her elder brother Md Imran.
Beauty recalled how the family collectively nurtured Sana’s ambition.
“I became a doctor, and another of our sisters is studying MBBS,” she said.
“But we always felt that one of us should become a top civil servant. Sana had that dream. We encouraged her and planned her academic path accordingly. Her admission to Jamia Millia University in Delhi was also part of that plan,” she added.
As congratulations poured in, her mother, homemaker Fulbanu Bibi, couldn’t stop beaming.
“It is a dream come true,” Fulbanu said. “But Sana is not satisfied with the rank she has obtained. Her goal is to become an IAS officer. So she has begun her studies again.”
