ANKIT Kumar, 26, a resident of Banka district in Bihar, is all praise for Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Anshul Kumar for opening an elibrary for students preparing for various competitive examinations.

Ankit, who recently cleared an examination conducted by Staff Selection Commission (SSC) and has been appointed as junior technical assistant in the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), credited 2016-batch Bihar cadre IAS officer Anshul Kumar's initiative for his success. He has been a regular visitor to the elibrary set up in the premises of RMK Vidyalaya in Banka district headquarters town for students preparing for competitive examinations. It was opened during Anshul’s stint as the district magistrate of Banka in 2023. The elibrary provides all basic facilities like ebooks, newspapers, magazines and other study materials. Ankit’s elder brother Alok Kumar, who was appointed as technical assistant in the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), was also a regular visitor to the elibrary.
