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.

US VP JD Vance says Lebanon not part of ceasefire, calls it ‘misunderstanding’
Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
