The dream was to do engineering and get a good job. The parents got their son done engineering by doing farming and laboring, but this dream remained unfulfilled.

The financial condition of the house was worse than before. Family members were also getting worried. There was also family pressure to do a job. I spent so much on engineering but was not getting offers from any company. I could not understand what to do, but my family members did not leave me. Explained a lot that don’t worry, you will get a job. The family members encouraged me a lot. Meanwhile, vacancy of Sub Inspector came in Bihar Police and success was achieved in the first attempt itself.
there is victory before defeat
Santosh says that he used to run to prepare for the physical. Passing the physical test was not easy. There were a lot of problems in the beginning. The pain was so much that it was unbearable. While preparing for the high jump, I had developed weakness in my waist, which was a big problem but the aim was to overcome unemployment and get the job of Inspector. Used to run after taking pain medicine.
Santosh also passed the physical exam. When the results came, there was an atmosphere of happiness in the family. After this Santosh went for training. After completing the training, they are now preparing to join. Santosh says that one should never give up during the struggle. One day or the other you will definitely get success.
