Raebareli: The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) has announced the final results for the PCS-2024 examination. This time, Raebareli's bright daughter, Ananya Trivedi, has brought glory to her district by securing the second rank across the entire state.

Hailing from a humble background, Ananya's victory serves as an inspiration to all those young aspirants who dare to dream big despite having limited resources.

Ananya Hails from a Humble Family

According to a Dynamite News correspondent, an atmosphere of jubilation prevails within the family of Ananya, a resident of Anand Nagar in Raebareli. Her father, Sushil Kumar Trivedi, runs a general store, while her mother, Rekha Rani, is a teacher in the Basic Education Department. Ananya attributes the entire credit for her spectacular success to her mother's struggles and her family's unwavering support.

Furthermore, she highlighted the guidance provided by her maternal uncle (currently posted in Kanpur Dehat) as being immensely crucial to her preparation.

Graduated from BHU

Ananya has been an academic achiever right from the start. She completed her schooling in Raebareli and, in 2019, earned her Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the renowned Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Subsequently, she obtained a Master's degree from IGNOU and also qualified for the NET examination. A remarkable aspect of her achievement is that this was her very first attempt at both the Mains examination and the interview stage-an endeavor in which she directly secured a spot among the top rank-holders.

Studied for 6 Hours Daily

Speaking about her preparation strategy, Ananya revealed that she never studied based on the number of hours clocked, but rather based on specific targets she had set for herself. She adhered to a disciplined routine, studying for approximately six hours every day. She emphasized that achieving success does not necessitate moving to a big city or enrolling in expensive coaching classes; instead, consistency and effective planning are the most critical factors.

The Road Ahead: UPSC

Even after becoming a PCS officer, Ananya does not intend to stop here. She is currently preparing for the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examinations. Her ultimate dream is to join the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), make her mark on the national stage, and contribute meaningfully to the betterment of society.
