Some success stories are loud and fast.
But some, like Pragnesh Verma’s, are quiet revolutions – built on discipline, patience, and faith.
The Silent Student
When Pragnesh joined us for his CDSE preparation, he was a sincere, hardworking student – the kind every teacher appreciates but rarely hears much from.
He wasn’t the most confident, nor the most outspoken. You could call him an introvert – attentive in class, speaking only when spoken to, keeping to a small circle of friends.
But behind that silence, there was a determination slowly building. His story is one of steady, silent transformation – the kind that doesn’t happen overnight, but one that lasts a lifetime.
The Turning Point
A year later, after clearing the written exam, Pragnesh returned to join our SSB training programme. It was heartwarming to see him again – more mature, more focused, and quietly eager.
He often wandered through the academy corridors dressed in formals, wearing his tie and chest number, fully immersed in the environment of preparation. Every mentor noticed his presence – not because he was loud, but because he was consistent.
The Process and the Faith
The mentors of the academy worked hard on him, trying a few unconventional methods to bring out his confidence, expression, and leadership qualities. Not once did he complain.
He had total faith in the process and in his mentors.
And that faith, combined with relentless effort, eventually bore fruit – Pragnesh was recommended from 22 SSB Bhopal.
The Reasons Behind His Success
- Dedication toward his goal – He never allowed fatigue or doubt to shake his consistency.
- Faith in his teachers and the process – He trusted guidance, even when it was uncomfortable.
These two simple yet rare traits turned his quiet persistence into a recommendation letter – and transformed an introvert into a confident, future officer.
At the end of it all, we can only say:
Pragnesh, we are so proud to see you wearing that plus sign.
You deserve it. You earned it.
Your journey will inspire not only your juniors but also us, your teachers.
Your story reminds us never to judge a student too early, never to underestimate quiet determination, and to give our 100% every single day.
Because sometimes, the most silent students create the loudest impact.
