With confidence, you can achieve success: Balalatha

Polio didn’t deter me from achieving my goal. Only by conquering fear and taking risks we can achieve anything, said CSB Academy Director Balalatha Mallavarapu, encouraging the aspirants who gathered at the awareness programme. Following the advice of my father who asked me to be brave in every circumstance, I cracked the UPSC exams twice but gave up the job and started this academy to help scores of aspirants, she added.

Sharing her own example, Balalatha said, “After facing the harsh words from people around me and the realities of life, I motivated myself to study with more determination with an aim to secure a rank in UPSC exams. Though I didn’t know English well, I put in extra effort to learn the language with the help of a dictionary and succeeded.” It is this confidence and determination that helped her secure 367th rank in her first attempt and 161st rank in the second.

As Balalatha cracked Civils exams, a lot of aspirants used to approach her for tips and that’s when she decided to start a coaching centre to help others achieve their goal. She explained in detail how to prepare for each of the subjects in the syllabus and what topics to focus on for the TSPSC recruitment exams. “Read ‘Namasthe Telangana’s ‘Nipuna’ supplement and ‘Telangana Today’s ‘Jobscape’ page for additional material in your preparation. I’m happy to be part of the awareness programmes being held across Telangana to motivate aspirants,” she concluded.
