It is said that those who work hard never lose. If a person has courage, even failure becomes a stepping stone to success. This has been proved to be true by Umesh Ganpat Khandabahale, a resident of a small village in Maharashtra. Umesh, who once failed in the 12th class English exam, is today an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer and is working as Superintendent of Police (SP) in West Bengal.
The story of Umesh Ganpat Khandabahale is no less than the script of a film. He was not very smart in studies during his school days. He got only 21 marks in the 12th class English exam and failed. This failure shook his confidence. The financial condition of the family was also not very good, so he left studies and started working with his father.
He used to go to Nashik from the village every day and help in running the household expenses by selling milk. Apart from this, he also did many small jobs like carrying goods, helping in the fields, and sometimes working as a labourer.
determined to make a new beginning
The difficulties of life did not break Umesh, but made him stronger. He thought that if we try again then nothing is impossible. He took the 12th examination again from an open school and this time passed with good marks. From here his life took a new turn. After this Umesh started his graduation studies in science. Along with studies, he kept himself on the path of discipline and hard work. Gradually he decided his goal.
Difficult path of UPSC
The dream of becoming an IPS was not easy. Umesh started preparations living within his limited resources. He neither had coaching facilities nor the environment of the city. But he had determination and courage to work hard. He studied for hours every day, learned from books and notes, and learned from every mistake. Ultimately his hard work bore fruit. He passed the UPSC exam and secured 704th rank. This was the same person whom people once taunted by calling him “12th failed” and today he is serving the country.
