Rishabh Mittal

Kurukshetra resident Rishabh Mittal (28) has successfully cracked the UPSC civil services examination in his fifth attempt, securing an All-India rank of 363.

Currently posted as an Auditor in the Defence Accounts Department at Ambala Cantonment, Mittal’s journey is a testament to firmness and steady dedication.

A Delhi Technological University (DTU) BTech graduate, Mittal began his civil services preparation at the end of 2019. He accredited his success to constant support and motivation by his family, close friends and office colleagues.

“Continuous efforts pay in achieving goals. Youngsters must focus on their target and work accordingly,” Rishabh said, underlining the importance of discipline and determination.

Mittal added that he stayed away from social media platforms like Facebook during his preparation. However, he used WhatsApp for official purposes.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
