Started Working After 12th Grade
Facing financial hardship, Giriraj began working soon after completing his 12th grade. This early start helped him support his family, subsequently leading to some financial improvement when he joined as a constable. Together with his father, he successfully managed his sisters’ weddings.
Balancing Job with MPPSC Studies
