‘Officer’s Village of India’: Civil Service Officials are found in almost every 75 households in this little village in Uttar Pradesh.

The Union Public Service Commission’s (UPSC) Civil Services Exam (CSE) is one of the most difficult exams in the world. Every year, almost one million people fight for fewer than a thousand job openings across the country. Those that make it to the final list are definitely the deserved lucky ones, but there are so many more who do not.

Uttar Pradesh generates more civil officers than any other state, and this little town in Uttar Pradesh has the capacity to govern the country’s administrative affairs! In Jaunpur district’s Madhopatti hamlet, there are 75 families, and virtually every household has a member of the IAS or PCS cadre.

‘Officer’s Village of India’

This community has a total of 75 homes, yet it has more than 50 police officers. This village’s sons and daughters aren’t the only ones in charge; daughters-in-law are also in charge of officials. According to sources, Madhopatti village in Jaunpur is now on par with Ghahmar village in Ghazipur, which is renowned as the “Village of Jawans,” where every home has at least one member in the army.

A lot of residents in Jaunpur’s Madhopatti hamlet have chosen public service professions, and several young people from the area have also found success with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC). Not only that, but this town has the distinction of having four siblings picked for IAS. Vinay Kumar Singh, who joined the civil service in 1955, retired as Bihar’s chief secretary.

Chatrapal Singh and Ajay Kumar Singh, Vinay Kumar Singh’s two siblings, both passed the test in 1964. Shashikant Singh, the fourth brother, became an IAS officer in 1968. Chatrapal Singh also served as Tamil Nadu’s chief secretary.

Madhopatti village’s first civil servant

According to accounts, Mustafa Hussain, father of well-known poet Wamiq Jaunpuri, was the first public worker from Madhopatti, joining the civil service in 1914. Indu Prakash became an IAS official in 1952, and the village received the following civil service level. Since then, the youngsters of this hamlet have been encouraged to pursue careers in the government service.

Despite the fact that nearly every home in Madhopatti village has a member in the public service, the community’s appearance has remained unaltered. The village’s roads are potholed, medical services are inadequate, and electricity is scarce; in addition, there is no one coaching centre for IAS hopefuls.

The inhabitants of Madhopatti village have proven that Mahatma Gandhi was correct when he declared, “India lives in its villages.” Despite the lack of adequate educational facilities, this hamlet has demonstrated to the rest of the country that anything is possible with real devotion, hard effort, and attention.
