Deepak Anand is a charismatic person. It is quite unfortunate that a man who has helped innumerable poor students of Bihar has been mired in a serious controversy. There is now no doubt behind the fact that he was deeply involved in the illegal business of sand mining in Bihar while being the district magistrate of various districts.
Deepak was born and brought up in Sitamarhi. His father Mr. Padam Sankara Chaudhary is a small businessman in that town. Sitamarhi is one of the most backward districts of Bihar. Deepak has seen the predicament of the general masses since his childhood. He was determined to change everything.
He is after marriage with Shikha Rani, Deepak started to earn illicit money. Shikha, his wife, is from Godda. She is doing MBBS from Katihar Medical College.
Deepak cracked UPSC Civil Services Examination in 2007. He was a Post Graduate in Philosophy from Patna University. He was eyeing to become a lecturer. But, delay in NET examination that year led him to attempt Civil Services. He cracked UPSC CSE in his very first attempt. His All India Rank was 55. Being an OBC by caste, it was easy for him to get home cadre.
When he became an IAS, Deepak started to work for a social cause apart from taking care of his administrative responsibility. He also ran a small group of Civil Services coaching where free education was provided. That was like Super 30 IIT Coaching of Anand. All 12 students of his coaching cracked Civil Services. In this endeavor of providing free UPSC Coaching, another IAS named Mithilesh Mishra helped him.
Deepak has also written a book titled How To Succeed in Civil Services. The book is available on Amazon. The royalty of this book is given to poor students.
In this context, it is quite unfortunate that such a wonderful personality has turned out to be a corrupt person
