Ayodhya boy cracks UPSC with Rank 5, dreams of a country with empathetic bureaucrats
India Today
Ayodhya boy Utkarsh Dwivedi cracked the UPSC civil service exams with AIR 5 and wishes to see a country with empathetic bureaucrats.
Utkarsh Dwivedi comes from a government background. His maternal grandparents had always encouraged him to become an IAS officer and soon enough their journey had inspired him enough to take up their dreams as his own.
He has now made these dreams come true by bagging All India Rank 5 in the UPSC civil services exam results released on May 30.
“My end goal is to contribute to the country’s development in every possible manner,” says the UPSC fifth topper in a conversation with India Today Education.
“My idea of governance is to have a country with empathetic bureaucrats and administration which stands strong for the ones in need,” he adds.
Originally hailing from Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, Utkarsh and his family of four now reside in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
His father is a senior manager in an FMCG company and his mother is a homemaker.
“I am the elder son, and my younger brother is pursuing BCom currently from a leading college in Indore,” says the UPSC topper.
