UPSC 2023: Nazia Parveen’s mantra for success is following positive ideas

Giridih District, JHARKHAND :

Nazia Parveen

New Delhi:

Nazia Parveen, who secured 670th rank in the UPSC list of the All India Civil Services on her fourth attempt, says it’s wrong to marry women at a young age and deprive them of getting educated up to a higher level.

Nazia Parveen is originally from the Giridih district of Jharkhand.The daughter of a businessman and a homemaker mother, Nazia says she completed her schooling in her native place.

Thereafter she joined the Aligarh Muslim University for her graduation. Dreaming of becoming a civil servant, Nazia joined the residential coaching of Jamia Millia Islamia for civil services.

Nazia says that Jamia RCA played an important role in her success.

Nazia wrote the Jharkhand State Public Service Commission examination twice unsuccessfully. On her experience of failures, Nazia says, one should not feel disappointed and must keep struggling till the goal is achieved.

“In my journey of six years, I failed thrice and experienced both positive and negative emotions and thoughts. I always choose to pursue the positive ideas and kept my focus on clear the Civil services,” she told Awaz-the Voice.

On the educational levels of women, especially among Muslims, Nazia said early marriage of women is at the core of this problem. Even today in our society girls are married early, and they are not given a chance to get higher education, it is important to pay attention to this.”
