Nobody knows where life will take you, and this perfectly describes IAS Deepak Rawat, who has a massive fan following on Facebook. He has over 4 million subscribers on YouTube and over 14,000 followers on Twitter. He was raised in Uttarakhand and now inspires millions of people. But, like others, Deepak had to work hard to achieve his goal.
Deepak Rawat was born on September 24, 1977, in Barlowganj, Mussoorie, Uttarakhand. He attended St George's College in Mussoorie, graduated from Hansraj College, Delhi University, and earned a post-graduate degree in political science and an MPhil from Jawahar Lal Nehru University.

Journey
According to UPSC Pathshala, Deepak's life took a turn after completing his graduation when he met some students from Bihar who were preparing for UPSC. From there, Deepak developed an interest in the field and began preparing for civil services, but he failed the exam in his first two attempts. He did not give up, and with hard work and determination, he passed the exam on his third attempt. After being selected as an IRS officer rather than an IAS, he retook the exam and landed the position of IAS that he had always desired.
Plan B
When Deepak was in 11th and 12th grade, most of his classmates were preparing to go into engineering or the military, but he was more interested in things like cans, empty toothpaste tubes, and so on, Deepak explained in an interview.
