Anil Khadse breaking barriers, inspiring change

New Indian Express  

MAHARASHTRA: Anil Khadse, the first person from the Mang community in Vidarbha region, a Scheduled Caste, to crack the civil services exams, now serves as the deputy director in the Income Tax Department in Nagpur. The Mang or Matang community traditionally engaged in occupations such as rope and broom-making, cattle castration, and leather work, has long faced social and economic challenges. Education was a privilege for children from the community, but Khadse’s grandmother, who worked as a “Dai”, was determined to change that. “They always told me to make our village proud by achieving something big in life.” After excelling in his board exams with 83% marks, Khadse moved to Pune for computer engineering.
