Due to widespread poverty, the Government of India instituted a reservation system aimed at providing opportunities for economically disadvantaged individuals to secure jobs through the SSC. Post-independence, many people faced barriers to education and income due to poverty. The government’s initiative was intended to offer employment opportunities and access to education for those in need. However, this system primarily benefits the economically disadvantaged, leaving the middle class at a disadvantage.

For those with ambitious aspirations, hard work remains the key to success. In today’s digital age, there are numerous avenues to access competitive education. With the proliferation of smartphones, individuals can easily learn and educate themselves. Many institutions offer online education programs for aspirants.

Securing a stable job in this era, where candidates can feel self-reliant, is challenging. The former Prime Minister of India initiated the “Atmanirbhar India” campaign, emphasizing the vast employment opportunities available to citizens. This initiative has encouraged many to start their own businesses. The CHSL serves as a pathway for individuals to employ themselves, with eligibility based on socioeconomic status.

Every individual has their unique journey to success, whether through self-study, guidance from teachers, or other means. Each path represents a personal triumph and brings a sense of fulfillment. Various factors influence educators’ preferences, but ultimately, success hinges on individual effort, as famously stated by Jawaharlal Nehru, “No one can beat you unless you put in the effort.”
