From police officer to public servant: Uday’s inspirational journey
Aspiring IAS officers might learn from Mulagani Uday Krishna Reddy, who is from Ullapalem village in Singarayakonda mandal in Prakasam district. Reddy has shown to them that one should not let personal sorrow stand in the way of having huge dreams and realizing them.
Having lost both of his parents at a young age, he experienced hardship early in life. Uday, who was raised by his grandmother, attended government colleges after Zilla Parishad education. He was made a police constable, but he quit after being made fun of by his bosses in front of his coworkers. In 2019, Uday reluctantly decided to step down after an abuse from his circle inspector in front of about sixty constables.
He changed his concentration to the civil services since he was determined to achieve his goals. He achieved great success in the recently released UPSC 2024 civil services results. He remained ahead of others because of his tenacity and commitment. He achieved a 780 All India ranking. Many find encouragement in his story of rising from modest origins to succeeding in the very difficult civil services test.
At the age of four and a half, Uday lost his mother Jayamma, and at the age of fifteen, he lost his father Srinivasula Reddy. His grandmother Ramanamma, a day laborer, reared him. Uday finished his elementary education at Ullapalem Village and his high school education at ZP School. He finished his bachelor’s degree at Jawahar Bharathi Degree College and followed an intermediate vocational program in the Lab Technician branch. He is now pursuing an online MA in Political Science. ~
International relations and political science were his elective subjects for the UPSC test. He studied for eight or ten hours every day. Sarath Chandra IAS Academy provided him with mains and interview preparation.
During his Intermediate studies, he worked part-time as a lab technician at a private diabetes center. In 2012, he was chosen for the constable position. After reorganization, he began serving in October 2013 in Gudluru, which was once in the Prakasam district but is now in Nellore. He subsequently served at the Marine police station.
“Once our circle inspector insulted me in front of nearly sixty colleagues carrying a personal grudge,” Uday said in an interview with TNIE. He issued a reprimand that included an additional practice lasting more than an hour. I left the job in August of 2018 because it really harmed me.
He persevered in his goal of passing the civil services examination in spite of obstacles. He overcome obstacles and succeeded with the help of Siddharth Kaushal, the district SP of Prakasam at the time.
He was fortunate to have the support of his brother Pranay Krishna Reddy, his maternal uncle Koti Reddy, and his friends Yogi, Siva Kumar, Sarath Chandra, Sunil, and Rajesh both financially and emotionally.
He made unsuccessful efforts in 2019, 2021, and 2022 before realizing his ambition in 2023. He conveyed his happiness at having attained the status he did, as well as his intention to use government funding to help the poor and advance animal welfare.
For prospective UPSC candidates, he emphasized the value of discipline, perseverance, and excellence with bravery.
In order to stay accessible to the public, Uday wants to create a 109 (similar to 108) service and rehabilitation center for animals found by the side of the road and hold Praja Darbars. He is committed to combating drug misuse in order to protect the next generation.
