Deepak Rawat is a firebrand IAS officer from Uttarakhand in India. He is also one of the most popular IAS officers on social media.
Wiki/Biography
Deepak Rawat was born into a modest family on 24 September 1977 (age 41 Years; as in 2018) in one of the most popular hill stations in India- Mussourie. His Zodiac sign is Libra.
While growing up in Musoourie, Deepak had developed an interest in collecting scraps like old watches, used polish boxes, worn-out utensils, etc. He was so much interested in scraps that he wanted to become a scrap dealer. He did his schooling from St. George’s College in Mussourie.
Though he wasn’t interested in taking science in his secondary classes, he had to take that under his family’s pressure. However, in his higher studies, he opted humanities over science. He moved to Delhi from Mussourie to pursue his higher studies, where he took admission at Hansraj College, Delhi University.
After completing his graduation in History from Hansraj College, Deepak attended Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for his post graduation in History. He also did his M.Phil. from JNU. When he had turned 24, his father refused to give him pocket money from then onwards and advised him to bear his expenses on his own. Interestingly, his JRF results were announced within a few days of his father’s advice, and he started getting ₹8000/month as a stipend, which was sufficient to bear his expenses. It was there while studying in Delhi that he came in the contact of some students from Bihar who were preparing for the Civil Services. Soon, he became friends with them and got inspired by them to prepare for the UPSC Examination. However, he couldn’t get success in his first two UPSC attempts. Though he cleared the examination in his third attempt, he couldn’t get the desired rank to become an IAS officer. He again prepared for the examination, and ultimately got the desired rank to become an IAS officer in his last attempt.
