A youth from Kulgam has secured the second rank in the Indian Economic Service (IES) 2020. He has become the first resident of Jammu Kashmir to achieve this feat. Tanveer Ahmed Khan, 22, from the Naginpora Kund in the Kulgam district, has achieved this position in his first attempt.
Tanveer received basic education from Government School and then went to Government Degree College in Anantnag to complete his graduation. After this he did his post graduation in the field of economics from Kashmir University. He recently completed his M.Phil degree in Development Studies in Kolkata. Tanveer Khan said, “It was during my M.Phil that I came to know about this exam and I started preparing for it and today I have achieved this feat.”
Tanveer says that coming from a joint family of grandparents, uncles and his parents, his family has always inspired and supported him. But, the biggest credit goes to his teachers who inspired him to achieve this position.
The Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha has appreciated him. LG Sinha, from his official Twitter handle, congratulated Tanveer Ahmed Khan, a resident of Niginpora Kund area of South Kashmir district, on his achievement. The LG said that he has always believed that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir are naturally capable and full of potential. Wishing Tanveer a bright future, the LG said that his work will further inspire the youth in the UT.
Tanveer is happy about his success. “There is no internet in his village and due to lack of internet, many promising children here are left behind. They cannot grow. The children of my area are very intelligent but they lack facilities. If the government gives all the facilities here, then more children can achieve even bigger achievements.”
