Meet the Security Guard’s Son Whose Sheer Grit Made Him an IRS Officer!
Kuldeep was born in the village of Shekhpur in the Nogoha district of Uttar Pradesh to a security guard, Suryakant and homemaker, Manju Dwivedi.
For the last 20 years, Suryakant worked as a security guard at the Lucknow University and was the sole breadwinner of the family. He raised his four kids–Sandeep, Pradeep and Swati, and Kuldeep–with his meagre salary. Suryakant never discouraged his kids from pursuing their education. Kuldeep qualified for the Allahabad University, completing his BA and MA in Hindi and Geography. Swati adds how Kuldeep, despite being young in class 7, would say that he wanted to join the civil services. Clearly, the young man did not lose sight of his childhood dream after completing his post-graduation. In 2015, this humble security guard’s sweat, and grit paid off, when after his third attempt, his son, Kuldeep, cleared the country’s most coveted exam–the UPSC. With an All India Rank of 242, Kuldeep Dwivedi became an officer with the Indian Revenue Services.
