Roman Saini – The IAS
officer who quit his job to “Unacademy”
For many of us it sounds foolish to quit an IAS post job
but it’s true and it happened. We are talking about the young IAS officer Roman
Saini who quit his job so that he can teach others for free. The 24 old
completed his graduation from All
India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)- the prestigious medical college of
the nation. Fortunately, he was able to crack the IAS mains and got himself the
post of Assistant Collector in Jabalpur.
So, what made him to sacrifice his
prestigious post?
Gaurav Munjal is a man whom he was inspired
from. Gaurav was his School buddy and they have been really good friends since
then .It happened 5 years ago when Gaurav shared this marvelous idea of
starting a YouTube channel named “Unacademy”. Unacademy was built with a vision
to offer free education to all those aspirants
who are looking forward to become a part of the national service by clearing
IAS examination.
This is the part when
Munjal got him and he was immediately ready to share this vision with him. It
was very tough for him to quit his post as it was something he always dreamt
of. So, finally he decided to quit as he had a belief in “Unacademy”- free
education service to all the civil service aspirants. Currently Unacademy has
more than 5 lakh students (subscribers) who are being benefitted with this
channel. Unbelievably, Unacademy has 1.1 crore lessons delivered since the time
it started.
Jabalpur Collector S N
Rupla confirmed that Roman quit the IAS in last year so that he can do the
greater good for the nation.
