Farmer’s Daughter From Malegaon Clears UPSC Without Coaching, Secures IPS Rank

Dhanashree Ahire from Patne village earns All India Rank 489, inspiring students from rural backgrounds

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) results have brought pride to Maharashtra’s Malegaon region, as Dhanashree Ahire, the daughter of a farmer, secured All India Rank 489 and qualified for the Indian Police Service (IPS).

Dhanashree, who hails from Patne village near Malegaon, achieved the success through self-study without joining any coaching classes, making her journey particularly inspiring for students from rural and farming families.

From Farming Family To Civil Services

Dhanashree is the eldest daughter of Jibhau Jagannath Ahire, a farmer, and grew up in a modest rural household. Despite financial and social challenges, she showed academic excellence from a young age.

She studied up to Class 4 in the Zilla Parishad school in her village and later completed her schooling while helping her family with agricultural work.

Her academic performance remained strong throughout her education. She scored 94 percent in Class 10 and 92 percent in Class 12, before pursuing higher education in Pune.

Dhanashree completed her graduation in Mathematics from Fergusson College, Pune.

Began UPSC Preparation During College

While studying in Pune, Dhanashree decided to prepare for competitive examinations and began studying for the UPSC Civil Services Examination after completing her degree.

Interestingly, she relied mainly on self-study rather than formal coaching.

In her first attempt, she managed to reach the interview stage, but could not secure a final rank.

Instead of giving up, she continued her preparation and also appeared for the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exam, where she was selected as a Deputy Forest Guard.

Second Attempt Brings Success

Determined to achieve her dream, Dhanashree appeared for the UPSC exam again and secured Rank 489, qualifying for the Indian Police Service (IPS).

Her success has brought joy to her family and pride to her village, where residents and relatives have been congratulating her.

Malegaon Celebrates UPSC Success

The UPSC results have also highlighted the achievements of another candidate from the region. Kartik Bachhav secured All India Rank 178, adding to the district’s success in the prestigious civil services examination.

The achievements of both candidates have created a celebratory atmosphere in the Malegaon area, inspiring many young aspirants preparing for competitive examinations.
