Navodaya girl shines at 89th rank in UPSC exam!

Meenu Thakur of Udaynagar village in Purnia’s Srinagar block shines at 89th rank. She has studied at JNV Purnia, Bihar. Her father Shyamanand Thakur, who worked as a school-teacher to feed his wife, four daughters and a son, would never let his modest financial status come in the way of Meenu’s studies. The family lives in a two-room house and Shyamanand rides a ramshackle bicycle.

Meenu actually dreamt of becoming an IITian. But she bowed to the wishes of her father who wanted her to join the civil services. After pass-ing out of Garhariya middle school, she studied at a Navodaya Vidyalaya and did her graduation in history from Purnia Women’s College in 2003. She scored 69% in her MA and is currently doing research for her Phd from Patna University.
