Warangal: Gritty youth excels to grab TSPSC job

Warangal: Grabbing any job is no easy task these days; and that too bagging a Group-II post is even tougher given the stiff competition among the unemployed. At a time when the likes of doctorates and postgraduates making a beeline for the TSPSC recruitment, someone like Achcha Shiva Kumar, who is eking out a living working as a part-time teacher at a private school, cracking deputy tahsildar post is gleefully encouraging.

It may be mentioned here that more than five lakh candidates had appeared for Group-II exam that held in November 2016 for a total of 1,032 posts. The results were announced recently after prolonged legal hurdles.

Shiva lost his parents at a tender age and got support from his grandmother living in Abbanikunta area of Labour Colony in the city. His penchant for government job led him to burn the midnight oil.

What is significant is that he had prepared on his own for the recruitment exams as his financial position didn't allow him to get coaching in reputed competitive examination centres. Speaking to The Hans India, Shiva said: "I will work with service motto as I had come through the rigours of poverty. Within the purview of my job, I will not let the poor suffer."

Kanaka Durga Temple (Dayanand Colony) Committee members led by their Chairman Meesala Prakash felicitated Shiva with the presiding deity's silk robes. Temple Committee members Singirikonda Venkateshwarlu, S Suresh Kumar, A Jaannathachary, D Agaiah, Kuchana Ravinder and priest Gampa Shravan Kumar wished Shiva to scale new heights in his career.
