While this is truly inspiring, I wonder how many constables can actually afford to quit their jobs to prepare full-time? The system needs more support for working aspirants.

The real hero here is his grandmother Ramanamma. Without her sacrifices, this success wouldn't have been possible. We need to honor such unsung heroes too!

Impressive story, but I hope this doesn't become an excuse to glorify struggle. The system should make it easier for talented people from all backgrounds to succeed.
