Anjum, who topped the Combined Competitive Examination-KAS 2014 the result of which was announced by Public Service Commission on December 18, accepted that there is an increase in avenues and options to the aspirants but rejected the prevailing phobia of coaching as compulsory component to crack the competitive examinations.
“Unfortunately the coaching culture for competitive examinations have developed in the recent past but the reality is that coaching is not must for Civil Services and to continue with the notion that one will not crack the exam without coaching needed to shed away as it’s not the reality,” he said.
Although Anjum raised the concerns of aspirants residing in the far flung areas but assured his full help, cooperation and guidance to everyone whosoever approaches him. He complemented the youth for being techno savvy as technology now has a penetration deeper in rural as well as in far flung areas.
To a question, Anjum did acknowledge that there are certain things and issues which are making the educated youth disillusioned and angry to system.
“There is a dire need to address the issues which bring exasperation and negativity among the youth which ultimately leads to violence but in my opinion solution only lies in peace and violence can never ever be a solution of anything .Youth must not resort to violence and negativity as it always leads to destruction of self only. And at the same time system is required to generate a mechanism to create ample number of employment opportunities which may provide the youth a dignified source of income so that the negativity could be removed from their minds,” he asserted.
Anjum, a serving Government teacher in his home town, son of a retired lecturer Bashir Ahmad Khan and teacher Ghulam Fatima wanted since his childhood to become an Administrator.
Giving due credit to parents for their role and responsibility in nourishing a child, Anjum made an appeal to parents to inculcate positive values and ethics in their children. He asked the youth to be a positive citizen and think always good for their family, State and country.
