In a significant achievement, Ayesha Ansari, the daughter of an auto driver, cleared the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) exam to become a Deputy Collector. Ayesha’s accomplishment proves that determination can make you achieve what one puts their mind to in spite of their socio-economic circumstances.
Ayesha secured 12th rank in the state service examination and said that she did so by studying on her own without the aid of coaching classes. This was her third attempt at the MPPSC test, clearing which she fulfilled the dream of her father.
"She used to keep studying all the time, so we never stopped her. We encouraged her to study as much as she wanted. She really worked hard. It was all her, we didn't do anything. She never asked us for anything," Ayesha's father said.
