Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the launch of a digital platform,‘ Pratibha Setu’, in the 125th Episode of Mann Ki Baat, for the UPSC aspirants who narrowly missed the final merit list. On the platform, the aspirants can get data on more than 10,000 candidates, which will help them with future opportunities.
“My dear countrymen, you must have heard the name of UPSC. This institution conducts the Civil Services exam, one of the toughest exams in the country. All of us have heard many inspiring stories from the toppers of the Civil Services. These youngsters study under difficult circumstances and through their hard work, get a place in this service, but friends, there is another truth about the UPSC exam,” PM Modi said.
