JALORE | When two sons born from the same womb become officers in the service of the nation, it is a moment of pride not just for a family, but for the entire district. The land of Jalore is witnessing such a historic moment today, where two real brothers have written a new chapter of success with their hard work and dedication. This is the story of two lions from the Bagediya family, who have emerged from Jalore to make their mark in the country's security and administration.
Two Stars from One Home: The Pride of Jalore
There is an atmosphere of celebration at the home of Senior Bank Manager Rao Mahendra Singh Bagediya and Mrs. Manju Kanwar today. Both their sons have achieved something that has become an inspiration for thousands of youths in Marwar. One brother will protect the nation's borders in an army uniform, while the other will strengthen the country's economic security in administrative service.
Lieutenant Pritam Singh: The Valor of 41st Rank
The younger son, Pritam Singh, has brought glory to the district by becoming a Lieutenant in the Indian Army. He has proven his mettle by securing the 41st rank at the All India level. This is no ordinary achievement.
For this, Pritam has successfully completed 18 months of extremely tough and disciplined training. This training tests every limit of physical and mental endurance, which Pritam has overcome to now stand ready as a brave officer to serve the nation.
Elder Brother Sanjay Singh: The Prestige of a GST Inspector
Meanwhile, his elder brother, Sanjay Singh, is no less accomplished. He is currently serving in the prestigious post of Customs Inspector / GST Officer in the CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) under the Government of India.
His role is crucial in the smooth functioning of the country's economic system. Thus, one son of the Bagediya family is handling the country's external security, and the other is managing internal economic security.
From Struggle to the Summit: When Dreams Took Flight
This magnificent success was not achieved overnight. Years of hard struggle, sacrifice, and discipline are hidden behind it. The story of the two brothers shows that if intentions are strong, no goal is too far.
Slept in the lap of lions, those sons were not afraid, Who for the sake of the country, laid their lives on the line. Blessed is the soil of Jalore, blessed is the Bagediya family, Where from the same mother's womb, two heroes were born!
From the Streets of Jalore to the Penance in Jaipur
Both talented brothers completed their primary education at Jalore High School, where the foundation of their disciplined life was laid. After schooling, they moved to Jaipur to realize their dreams.
In Jaipur, they lived like ascetics for about 4 years. Staying away from comforts and luxuries, they focused day and night only on their studies. It was this rigorous penance, the fruit of which the whole country is seeing today.
Unwavering Support from Maternal Home and Family
Their family has a huge contribution to this success. Father Rao Mahendra Singh and mother Mrs. Manju Kanwar believed in their children's dreams and encouraged them at every step. The blessings of their grandmother, Mrs. Indra Kanwar, were always with them.
The brothers' maternal home is in the prestigious Opawat family of Bhinmal. Their maternal uncles, Than Singh Opawat and Dashrath Singh Opawat, are overjoyed at their nephews' success. Meanwhile, for their paternal uncles, Ganpat Singh Bagediya (Mandal President, BJP) and Shankar Singh Bagediya, it is an occasion of double happiness.
This achievement is not limited to the Bagediya family; it is a historic milestone for the entire Rao Sirdar community. Pritam Singh is the first person from his community to become a Lieutenant in the Indian Army.
Similarly, his elder brother Sanjay Singh is also the first GST Officer from the community. The emergence of two first-class officers from the same family will give new direction and inspiration to the youth of the community. It proves that youth from small towns and communities can also dream big and achieve them.
A Historic Welcome in Jalore
Now, the entire city of Jalore is eagerly waiting to welcome its brave son. After 18 months of rigorous training, Lieutenant Pritam Singh will set foot on his homeland for the first time. Grand preparations are being made to make this moment memorable.
Homecoming After 18 Months
