“A person should never forget the old days. They inspire us to do better in life,” believes Govind Prasad, father of IAS Dipesh Kumari; Who earned his living by selling tea and pakodas for 25 years, but did not allow any reduction in the education of his children.
The father’s dream was that the daughter should bring glory to the family by studying well. Due to financial constraints, he ran a tea-pakoda stall for 25 years and barely managed to meet his family’s expenses but did not let his children’s education suffer.
This is the story of Govind Prasad and his daughter Deepesh Kumari, resident of Bharatpur, Rajasthan.
Today Deepesh is serving the country as an IAS officer and her journey to reach this position is very inspiring!
If there is true dedication in the mind, then every difficulty that comes in front of the goal seems small. Strong willed people do not make excuses, they find ways and move forward on the basis of hard work. Deepesh was also like this since childhood.
Govind was supporting his family by selling bhajiya pakodas on a cart in Atal Bandh area for the last 25 years. There was a room in the name of the house in which seven members lived.
Gas was kept in a corner of this room. Govind was teaching his two daughters and three sons by making and selling pakodas here. There was financial darkness at home but he always saw a flame of hope in his children. Father has been selling chaat-pakodas for 25 years
