Today, on World Book Day, we pay homage to those silent mentors who shape minds, stir hearts, and kindle the flame of purpose — Books.

For every aspirant of the MPSC and UPSC Civil Services Examinations, books are not just pages bound together, but portals to possibilities, beacons of clarity, and anchors of discipline.

In the rigorous journey of preparation — filled with doubts, distractions, and delays — it is often a single line from Laxmikanth that lights the bulb of understanding, or a paragraph from Ramesh Singh that unravels an economic puzzle. NCERTs become the gospel of clarity, and biographies of leaders fuel the fire within. Books are where we meet not just knowledge, but ourselves.

Reading is the gymnasium of the mind. Every chapter strengthens our insight, every revision sculpts our memory, and every note carved becomes a testimony of our transformation.

But World Book Day is more than a ritual. It is a reminder.
A reminder that:

The Constitution is not just a document, but a living ideal that every Indian must understand.

The freedom struggle is not just history, but a story of collective courage that needs to be retold and re-understood.

Geography teaches not just terrain, but how to navigate life’s obstacles with precision.

Ethics and Integrity are not mere papers, but the essence of how we must live and lead.


Dear aspirants, today, renew your vows. Not just to crack the exam — but to become civilised servants of this nation, with wisdom rooted in reading and actions grounded in empathy.

Let books not just prepare you for a post, but transform you into a force — a compassionate, capable, and courageous force that India needs.

Happy World Book Day.
Keep reading. Keep rising.
The nation waits.
