Comes from a humble background

Despite the odd and the financial struggles of the family Kumar pursued his desire for studies and became a double postgraduate.
Since 2018, Kumar has been preparing for competitive exams, studying on his own.
In 2018 he missed selection for DSC notification just by half-mark.
