From A Backbencher In Class To IPS After Four Failures !
This Kannadiga Officer's Story Is Truly Inspiring
During our school and college days we have all been made to believe that Civil Service aspirations like IAS and IPS are for the best and brightest students in the class.
But an IPS Officer from Karnataka is breaking this stereotype, describing himself as a mediocre student, the typical backbencher.
Mithun Kumar G K said there was hardly anyone who believed him and, looking back he feels it was a blessing in disguise.
Speaking to Humans of Lbsnaa,the 2016 batch IPS officer recalled how he took up a job in software sector immediately after graduation to support the family, as he was the eldest child.
But the job never gave him satisfaction and he felt that something was missing. After three years of working he left the job as his younger brother took up the responsibility of running the house.
Kumar said it was his father who planted the idea of him being a police officer one day inside him, and that grew within.
"I wanted to be a civil servant and a police officer in particular. Whenever I saw a policeman on road there would be a spark in me. When I cleared the exams, many asked me why not the Administrative service. I had no answers, I could not explain to them how much the Uniform fascinated me and that I had always imagined myself to be in one," he said.
And in 2016, after four failed attempts he finally managed to clear UPSC Exam with a rank of 130.
While he could have opted for IAS, Kumar said he we were clear in his mind and always wanted to be a police officer.

Newborn found dead in plastic bag: Kerala Child Rights Commission registers case
Kochi (PTI): The Kerala State Child Rights Commission registered a case on Friday into the incident where a newborn was found dead, covered in a plastic bag on the street of a posh residential area here.
After visiting the Panampilly Nagar locality where the incident occurred, K V Manoj Kumar, the chairperson of the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, also directed the city police commissioner to file a detailed report on the incident.
Expressing concern over the incident, the Commission stated that if someone is unable to care for their children, abandoning or killing them should never be an option.
"There are various government systems in place to ensure their protection, such as Ammathottil or Children's Homes. These institutions provide a secure environment for children to grow up safely and thrive," Kumar said.
Ammathottil is an electronic cradle functioning under the Kerala State Council for Child Welfare, aiming to provide better life conditions for destitute and abandoned children.
Earlier in the day, conservancy workers of Kochi Corporation found the body of the child along the street in Panampilly Nagar and alerted the police.
Launching an investigation, the police said that a 23-year-old woman was taken into custody after being traced using the address on the Amazon delivery packet in which the child was wrapped and thrown.
According to the police, the woman, suspected to be a victim of sexual assault, delivered a baby in the early hours of Friday in her apartment bathroom and allegedly threw the newborn on the street in front of her flat complex.
She had allegedly concealed her pregnancy from her parents.
