However, the financial struggles and his father\u2019s alcohol addiction posed a significant challenge for Prabhakaran. Amid these hurdles, a young Prabhakaran had to stop his studies and work as a sawmill operator. For two years, he worked at the sawmill while engaging in some farming activities to support his family.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Prabhakaran\u2019s earnings were divided between his family\u2019s needs and saving for his academic pursuit. However, he was determined not to let go of his aspirations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">After his sister\u2019s marriage, Prabhakaran resumed his studies and supported his brother\u2019s education. In 2008, he secured admission to the civil engineering program at Thanthai Periyar Government Institute of Technology in Vellore.<\/p>\n<p><nonfly class=\"article_mad\" adunit=\"NW18_ENG_Desktop\/NW18_ENG_JOBS\/NW18_ENG_JOBS_AS\/NW18_ENG_JOBS_AS_ROS_MID_728\" slotid=\"nw18-dynamic-div-8284933_3_9\" id=\"new_ad_4\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">To make ends meet and pay for his college tuition, he kept on doing temporary work during his spare time. He used to attend the classes during the weekdays and even spent his weekends at the platforms of St. Thomas Mount railway station for his studies.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Prabhakaran\u2019s consistent efforts led him to pass the IIT Madras entrance exam for M.Tech and he earned his postgraduate degree in 2014. With his strong educational foundation, he then set his sights on the UPSC examination.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Despite facing setbacks, he refused to give up.
