Prem Sukh Delu, from Raisar village in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district, cleared the UPSC Civil Services Examination in his second attempt with All India Rank 170 and joined the Indian Police Service. The Hindustan Times, citing a Live Hindustan report, says Delu grew up in a financially struggling farming family. His father farmed and drove a camel cart.
Delu earned a gold medal in History, qualified for UGC NET and JRF, and worked as a Patwari while preparing for examinations. Over six years, he secured 12 government jobs, including positions as Gram Sevak, police sub-inspector and assistant jailor. He had earlier failed the Rajasthan Police constable examination.
Stories like this are often reduced to easy claims that success depends on motivation alone, or that government jobs offer a simple escape from hardship. Delu’s record shows something less dramatic but more useful: sustained study, repeated examinations and the advantage of strong academic preparation. It should not hide the unequal access to coaching, time and financial security faced by many aspirants. The harder question is whether recruitment systems can offer fair chances beyond exceptional individual resilience.
