I want to thank my parents and all of my teachers for guiding me over the years and helping me achieve these results today. Future plans for me include taking the UPSC exam and becoming an IPS officer.” Throwing light on her everyday routine, Anushuya added, “Every morning, I used to rise at 4:30, and I made sure to spend 6 to 7 hours a day studying.
There were times when I even studied until 12 in the morning, and today’s results are the product of all that effort. I want to completely acknowledge my parents and teachers for this success.”
