BALANGIR: Another youth from Orissa's Kalahandi district has made it to the coveted civil services proving the point that backwardness of the area is no deterrent to the aspiring.
Three years ago, Satyabrata Bhoi from Kalahandi district, bagged the 160 position making it to the IPS. He is now posted as SP in Angul district. This year, it is the turn of Chittaranjan Dhangda Majhi of Bhawanipatna, who secured 667 rank.
It was Chittaranjan's third attempt. On earlier occasions, the final interview had proved to be his stumbling block. His subjects were economics and political science. "Patience and determination is the first requisite to get through the civil services. It is no big deal. I think anyone can make it if he has patience," said Chittaranjan.
His parents being teacher, Chittaranjan learned discipline in study early in life. He completed his schooling and intermediate education in Bhawanipatna and then studied at the Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT). He passed out in 2002. Then he went to Delhi for civil services preparation. "I opted for this service because I have seen my home district reeling under poverty. I have also seen how much difference IAS officers can make by serving the poor," said Chittaranjan.
