Umesh Chandra's High School, College and University Days

Intelligence and Hardwork => Top Honours.

Umesh Chandra set sights on a service-oriented career very early in his schooling. Even before he was a teenager, by the age of 11, he aimed to be Indian Civil Services officer. He decided not to pursue studies leading to the more lucrative fields of engineering or accounting as he was firm in his resolve to serve his state and country.

At this young age of 11, he used to read Indian epics and history books usually meant for people much older.
