“Duniya ko kitabon se zyada aankhon se seekhna hai. Sikhane me badi bhumika aas pass ke mahaul ka hai. Study room me bandh hoke nahi padhna hai. Jitna aap sadak pe seekhenge utna kitab nahi sikhayegi,” he said in the video.
Translating to English, this means, “You have to learn about the world through your own eyes rather than books. The surrounding environment plays a big role in teaching. One shouldn’t be restricted in the study room. The things you’ll learn from the streets, no book can help you with that kind of knowledge.”

Dr Vikash Divyakirti cleared the Union Public Service Commission Civil Service Examination (UPSC CSE) on his first attempt in 1996. Even after a having a position at the Ministry of Home Affairs, he chose to resign after a year to pursue his passion for teaching. He founded ‘Drishti IAS’ in 1999.
