How many times have you met someone who has chosen country over money? Rarely, right?
But today we are going to tell you about an amazing person who refused the salary of Rs. 22 lakh from a multinational just because he wanted to serve his country.
We are talking about Himanshu Jain who rejected the whopping offer of Rs. 22 lakh from Amazon as he wishes to use his skills and knowledge of computer science for the development of the country. He told,
“I was with Amazon as an intern for three months. Thereafter, they offered me a job for Rs. 22 lakh. But I realised during my internship this is not what I want to do.”
Himanshu completed PG from International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad, and even Google was one of those companies which gave him job offers. He was very much interested in the civil services from his school days. In his words,
“I always heard from my teachers and family how an IAS officer has the power to change the country.”
After completing his PG, Himanshu chose to come to Delhi for preparation of UPSC exams and after 2 years of hard work and dedication, he passed the UPSC exam in the third attempt and secured the 44th rank. He further tells how his knowledge will help the country,
“Through my exposure in computer science, I will strive to help digitise India and introduce transparency in governance.”
We are very much sure that Himanshu will make his dreams come true and we Indians will be proud of him.
Best Of Luck!
