Chandigarh, July 7

A class 10 marksheet of an IAS officer is going viral on Twitter, and netizens can’t help but praise him for drawing home a point.

“A piece of paper cannot decide my future,” proving the adage true, IAS officer Awanish Sharan has tweeted his class 10 marksheet. A perusal of the marksheet shows that he had cleared the exam in 1995 in third division.

The purpose behind the 2009-batch Chhattisgarh cadre officer’s sharing his marks apparently is to underline the fact that a low score in an exam should not turn one a failure in life.

The twitterati is seeing IAS officer’s post as motivational and inspiring.

Here are some reactions:

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).
