In Hajipur, Bihar, after the death of their father, a brother and sister who studied with the help of their grandfather’s pension created history. Amit Anand became IBPS PO and Arpita Singh became BPRO from BPSC, know their inspiring success story.
Hajipur (Bihar): It is said that if the intentions are steel and there is a passion in the mind to achieve something, then even the lines of fate have to bow. One such shocking and emotional success story has come to light from Hajipur in Vaishali district of Bihar, which has made the entire state proud. Two brothers and sisters from the same family have created history by passing two different prestigious government examinations within just seven days. Amit Anand and his sister Arpita Singh have become an example for millions of youth today, but the pain and suspense behind this success is no less than a film script.
Father’s shadow suddenly arose: When the future of this family was drowned in darkness
Amit and Arpita’s life was not always so happy. When both of them were at the beginning of their age, the shadow of their father was gone from their minds forever. The untimely death of the father had pushed the smiling family into the quagmire of deep shock and poverty. Society and relatives began to feel that the future of these children had now become bleak. There was no source of income left at home and bearing the expenses of education seemed an impossible dream.
Grandfather’s only pension: On the basis of which this untold story of officers was woven.
When all roads seemed closed, his grandfather came forward as a troubleshooter. The government pension received by grandfather became the last hope and support of this family. With very limited financial resources and the money from grandfather’s pension, the mother continued the education of both her children. Amit and Arpita had also decided that they would not let their family’s struggle go in vain. He gave up luxuries, made a small room his workplace and got lost in the world of books day and night.
Those historic seven days: When two successes rained in the courtyard of the house in one week
When years of silent penance yielded results, its echo was heard throughout Hajipur. Amit Anand first cracked the selection process of IBPS (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection), one of the toughest banking exams in the country. He was selected to the prestigious post of Probationary Officer (PO) in the banking sector. The family was still celebrating this double happiness when in the same week another explosion occurred. His real sister Arpita Singh won the results of 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) Combined Competitive Examination. Arpita has been appointed to the post of Block Panchayati Raj Officer (BPRO) under the Government of Bihar.
Such a miracle for the first time in Vaishali: Mother immersed in tears, her chest swelled with pride.
According to local residents and administrative circles of Hajipur, this is perhaps the first such rare case in the history of Vaishali district, when two full brothers and sisters from the same family have become gazetted and reputed government officers at almost the same time and within the same week. Today, there is a flood of congratulations outside the house where there used to be silence. Amit and Arpita’s mother had tears in their eyes while talking about the unprecedented success of their children. She said that it is the blessings of her late husband and the unwavering dedication of her children, which has paid off every single paisa of her grandfather’s pension. Today, this pair of Amit and Arpita is giving courage to every student of the country who compromises with their dreams by complaining about lack of resources.
