Kerala's Hero was a "Cow-dung IAS"

"Siyab is a labourer who has made it to the interview round of IAS exam"

Twenty-two-year-old P Siyab is busy preparing for the final interview of the civil services examination, just a step short of becoming an IAS officer of reckoning.
But when Siyab is not studying, he has his hands full with other things like clearing cow dung and other clean-up jobs.6j

Siyab is a labourer.
“When people to came to know, they mocked me. "The Cow-dung IAS", they said. But now people appreciate my efforts. If only I come to a position, I will be able to help my poor family and society,” he says.

A hero in his village now, it wasn’t easy for Siyab to come this long a way.
He managed to score 72 per cent in Class X but with no money to study further, he took to doing odd jobs.
However, he didn’t leave his books behind, and would study whenever he found time, even while working as a labourer.
He went on to pursue Bachelor of Arts in History and is now completing postgraduate studies in Sociology.
“He is not reluctant to do any job. He worked for me even before the day he went to write the IAS Exam. He has received no help from his family or anyone. I wish him success,” says a village native Capt.(Rtd) Aravindakshan.

It's not just this village in Thrissur that's rooting for Siyab.
Residents say he is a source of inspiration for all who want to achieve something in life, despite odds stacked heavily against them.
