A son of a farmer, who also used to go to Kolkata in winters to work as a seasonal rickshaw puller, Khan believes that hard work pays off when one is focused and nothing seems impossible.

Khan has been a bright student from the very beginning, secured the third rank in the University of Kashmir entrance test and got himself admitted in the post-graduate course in economics at Kashmir University, the officials said.
“During the Covid period, I confined myself to the four walls of my room and started preparing for the IES examination while doing my M.Phil. I never let Covid impact my schedule of studies,” Khan said.
In his message to the youth of J&K, Khan said they should think out of the box and look for alternate career choices.
“The youth of J&K are brilliant who can excel in every field and they should look for alternate careers than the conventional ones,” he said.
