Ankit Awasthi has recently resigned from his government job in the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS). His decision has created a stir in social media and the education world. People are curious to know why he left a stable and respectable job and chose a different direction.
Why did he leave the job?
Ankit Awasthi was a YouTuber before joining RAS, where he also guides lakhs of youth. He has taught children on many online platforms, including Delhi and Kota. In a podcast, Ankita Awasthi said, “My nature of teaching is pulling me towards it. I used to miss the work that I actually had to do. I had to follow my passion, so I left it.”
Why did he join RAS?
Before RAS, he was a YouTuber where he used to guide lakhs of children. One of his students inspired him to join government service. Awasthi said, “While teaching, he said that he is a gold medalist. On this, a student said, “First, you have to clear the exam”. This hurt him, and he decided to take the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) exam. He got selected on the first attempt at the exam.
Ankit Awasthi said in the podcast, “Being a teacher, I wanted to give a message, ‘Exams can be cleared, and I did.’ ‘Job can be left to follow a passion, I proved it too.’ Leaving the job was difficult for him too, ‘It is very painful to leave the achievement from your own hands, it is not that easy.’ He said.
Ankit Awasthi further said the government uniform gave me a lot of respect, but when I got stuck, then I came to know that everything happens here in sequence, there are 4 people above you, there are 4 people below you who change the rules and regulations. At that time, leaving money and taking the post was also surprising, but there was a passion, the challenge given by society, and I did it.
