Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai today met the students of Tribal Youth Hostel, Dwarka who had passed the preliminary examination of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) at Chhattisgarh Sadan in New Delhi and encouraged them. On this occasion, while wishing the students all the best for the main examination, he said that this achievement is not only a personal success, but also an honour to the dreams and struggles of the hardworking families of Chhattisgarh.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that the success of these students is a powerful proof that talent is never dependent on financial resources or family background. Some have mason fathers, some are from farming families, and some are the sons of teachers. Yet, through their hard work, discipline, and determination, they have all succeeded in the first stage of the country’s most prestigious competitive examination. This is an inspiring example for the entire state, especially for the youth.

The Chief Minister discussed with the students in detail their preparation, study methods, struggles, and future plans. The students shared their experiences with the study environment, guidance, and facilities available at the Tribal Youth Hostel, and explained that the supportive environment provided by the state government gave them the confidence to set and achieve big goals.
Chief Minister Shri Sai told the students that success in the preliminary examination is an important milestone, but the real goal is to excel in the main examination and subsequent interview. He advised the students to prepare with complete dedication, discipline, time management, and a positive attitude, saying that there is no substitute for hard work and that consistent effort is the key to success.
The Chief Minister said that administrative services are not just a prestigious career, but an effective means of serving society and the nation. He expected the students to prioritize sensitivity, transparency, and a spirit of public service in their future administrative responsibilities and play a vital role in ensuring that the benefits of government programs reach the last person.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that the state government is continuously working to provide quality education, competitive exam preparation, and better opportunities to the youth. Numerous initiatives are being taken to promote talented youth, especially those from remote and tribal areas, so that talent is never left behind due to lack of resources.
He said that the Tribal Youth Hostel in Dwarka is the result of this thinking, where talented students from the state’s Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, and Other Backward Classes are preparing for national-level competitive examinations. The positive results of the educational environment, guidance, and necessary facilities available here are now manifesting in the students’ consistently increasing success in prestigious examinations like the UPSC.
The Chief Minister stated that the strongest foundation for building a developed Chhattisgarh is educated, aware, capable, and sensitive youth. The state government strives to ensure that every talented student in the state advances to their full potential and represents Chhattisgarh in the country’s highest institutions and services. He once again wished all successful candidates the best of luck for the main examination and expressed confidence that they will make outstanding contributions to the administrative services in the future.

Chief Minister Shri Sai said that in order to provide better opportunities to the deprived and talented youth of the society, the capacity of the Tribal Youth Hostel in New Delhi has been significantly increased, increasing the number of seats from 50 to 200. This decision is providing students from remote forest areas, tribal areas and rural areas of the state a better opportunity to prepare for prestigious competitive examinations including the Union Public Service Commission while staying in the national capital.
Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Vijay Sharma and Health Minister Mr. Shyam Bihari Jaiswal were also present on the occasion. Both ministers congratulated the students on their success in the preliminary examination, wished them well for the main examination, and encouraged them to pursue their goals with dedication and confidence.
It is noteworthy that the results of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Preliminary Examination-2026 have brought a proud achievement to Chhattisgarh.
