The Hindu
Six candidates from Kozhikode, including inspiring individuals with disabilities, successfully cleared the UPSC Civil Services Examination.
As many as six candidates from Kozhikode have cleared the UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE). Among them, Ajay R. Raj from Chathangottunada near Thottilpalam secured the highest position from the district with an All India Rank (AIR) of 109.
Mr. Raj secured a rank in the CSE by overcoming the challenge of visual impairment with determination and clarity of purpose. Although he lost his eyesight at the age of nine, he never considered it a barrier. Through careful planning and hard work, Mr. Raj achieved exceptional success. He is currently an officer in the Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS).

Among the winners, Athira Sughathan K., a dentist who secured AIR 483, also stood out. She achieved this by defying fate. After a road accident, she lost her memory and the ability to move below her waist, leaving her wheelchair-bound. From that condition, she realised her dream and became an inspiration to today’s youth.
