Udupi SP’s life story inspires students
Laxman Nimbargi has passed IPS in Kannada medium
Udupi, July 16: The life story of Udupi SP Laxman Nimbargi who wrote UPSC exam in Kannada medium and became IPS officer, has inspired the students of Kannada medium school students here on Monday.
While inaugurating Road Safety and Traffic awareness programme organized by the Rotary at Nittur high school, Nimbargi, who hails from a village in Vijayapura district and studied in Kannada medium school, explained his personal experiences in facing the challenges in his life. “Born in a village in Vijayapura district, I have studied my primary and high school education in Savadatti. Later, I have completed my PU education in Kannada medium. Though I faced inferiority complex about language while studying PUC in Hubballi, I faced it. In the first semester, I had got zero marks. But I took the second semester as a challenge and studied hard. I used to study four hours daily”, he said.
“On first PU result day, I went to college and searched for my name in the notice board. But my name was not there. Some of my friends came and told me that my name was published among top ten names in a separate notice board. In the second PU, I became the topper in the college and my photo was published in newspaper”, he said.
“I have got 85 per cent in Engineering in Hubballi. Later, I decided to write UPSC exam. But one of my professor advised me to go to foreign and build a career instead of making the life a burden. But I believed that only IPS or IAS officer could wipe out the tears of people. So, I left for New Delhi for preparations of UPSC exams. I made two futile attempts and thus spent three years. As a result, my relatives and friends kept me away. While thinking about this, I thought of writing exam in Kannada medium which is my mother tongue. Without any help from others, I wrote UPSC exam in Kannada medium and got 104 rank in 2014 batch and started my career as IPS office in Karnataka”, he explained before the students.
‘I was like you’
“Before 30 years, I was like one among you. I used to walk for three km to go to Kannada school and learnt. Kannada language would teach us on how to live. Children from Kannada medium would understand everything and experience it. Nothing is impossible. My life is an example for that”.
