Ansar Ahmad Shaikh, at 21, cracked the Civil Services Examination.

The boy belongs to Shelgaon village in Jalna district, Marathwada region and completed his schooling from Jalna district school.

21 year old is the son of an autorickshaw driver and brother of a garage hand.

Shaikh said, "My brother, a garage hand, supported me throughout, without which this would have been impossible to achieve. I am indebted to him".

He further added, "I was marginalised by three different categories. I am from a backward undeveloped region, I hail from a poor economic background and I belong to a minority community. I will tackle all these issues as an administrator since I have witnessed these issues at close quarters".

A political science student, Shaikh ranked 361 in his first attempt.
