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.

3 killed, 15 injured in fire after blast at firecracker unit in MP's Dewas; CM orders probe
Dewas/Indore (PTI): At least three workers were killed and 15 persons injured after a fire broke out following an explosion at a firecracker factory in Madhya Pradesh's Dewas district on Thursday, an official said.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav expressed grief over the incident and ordered an investigation. The state government will provide an assistance of Rs 4 lakh to the kin of each of the deceased, and the injured will receive free treatment, he said in a post on X.
Three persons were killed in the fire at the firecracker unit located in Tonk Kalan area, and around 15 injured persons were sent to hospitals in Indore and Dewas, Collector Rituraj Singh told reporters after inspecting the site.
Videos of the aftermath surfaced on social media, showing thick white smoke billowing from the factory along the Agra–Mumbai national highway. The clips also showed people rushing the injured for treatment amid cries for help, with body parts seen scattered at the site.
The collector said the fire has been brought under control. The administration has taken possession of explosives stored at another location within the unit, he said.
The work to manufacture small firecrackers at the factory of a person named Anil Malviya had begun only 15 days ago, and a licence has been issued for the unit, the collector said.
A detailed investigation is underway into the incident, he added.
CM Yadav said, "I have directed Deputy Chief Minister and Dewas district guardian minister Jagdish Devda, the home secretary and senior officials to visit the spot. An inquiry has also been ordered into the incident."
Local residents said there was a massive explosion at the factory, and the victims' body parts were found scattered far away from the site.
They said construction work was underway at the site and different sheds were being built there.
