Why “Chanakya”?

Arya Chanakya: Perhaps the pioneering prime bureaucrat- scholar. The thinker who realized the dangers of foreign invasion. Chanakya Mandal Pariwar has tried to awaken a corrupt exploitative, anti-people and inefficient regime. When the power-drunk corrupt regime refused to wake up, he sacrificed his career, went into wilderness organized and inspired the young generation from the commonest of the common strata of society.

अभिजीत पाटील

IAS २०२१
चाणक्य मंडल परिवारामध्ये मी २०१९ साली सामील झालो. त्यावेळी विदर्भामध्ये आमचा अभ्यास दौरा गेला होता. त्यातून प्रशासन नक्की कसं चालतं आणि अधिकाऱ्यांच्या जबाबदाऱ्या काय असतात हे खूप जवळून शिकायला मिळालं. २०२० सालातील मुलाखतीवेळी धर्माधिकारी सरांनी एक कानमंत्र दिला होता तो म्हणजे ‘शुभम तुझी विषयांची तयारी खूप छान आहे, फक्त चेहऱ्यावर स्मितहास्य असू दे. तुला आयोगाच्या मुलाखतीमध्ये ६५ मार्क्स मिळू शकतात.’धर्माधिकारी सरांनी सांगितल्याप्रमाणे मला मुलाखतीमध्ये ६४ मार्क्स मिळाले आणि राज्यात ४था येऊन उपमुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी या पदावर माझी निवड झाली.

निखिल फराटे

नायब तहसीलदार
२००९ चा फाउंडेशन आणि २०१० चा प्रिपरेटरी कोर्स मी केला. हे कोर्स मला चाणक्य मंडलच्या CTS – Competitive Talent Search या शिष्यवृत्ती परीक्षेमार्फत अगदी नि:शुल्क करता आले. व्यक्तिमत्व विकसनाचा कोर्स म्हणजे फाउंडेशन कोर्स करताना ग्रामीण भागातील असणं म्हणजे कमीपणाचं नसून तो तुमचा ‘PlusPoint’ आहे हे माझ्या लक्षात आलं आणि स्वतःबद्दल बघण्याचा माझा दृष्टिकोन विकसित होत गेला. माझ्या Weaknesses ना माझ्या Strength मध्ये बदलू शकलो ते फक्त चाणक्य मंडलच्या फाउंडेशन कोर्स मुळे. मी आजपर्यंत तीन मुलाखती दिल्या. २०१५ मध्ये धर्माधिकारी सरांनी मला ५७ मार्क्स दिले आणि आयोगाच्या मुलाखती मध्ये मला ५८ मार्क्स मिळाले. २०१९ साली सरांनी मला ५२ मार्क्स दिले आणि आयोगाच्या मुलाखती मध्ये ४९ मार्क्स मिळाले. २०२० साली सरांनी सांगितलं कि ‘ निखिल यावेळी तुझी निवड नक्कीच होईल आणि मुलाखतीचे सर्वोत्तम मार्क्स तुला यावेळी मिळतील’. सरांनी तेव्हा मला ६१ मार्क्स दिले होते आणि आयोगाच्या मुलाखतीमध्ये ६३ मार्क्स मिळाले. माझ्या आयुष्यात मी जे काही मिळवलं त्यामध्ये चाणक्य मंडलचा मोलाचा वाटा आहे आणि त्याबद्दल मी कायम ऋणी असेन.

शुभम जाधव

Dy. CEO/BDO २०२१
मी २०१२ साली चाणक्य मंडलचा प्रिपरेटरी आणि २०१५ साली यूपीएससी कोर्स पूर्ण केला. चाणक्य मंडलमधील प्रवासाने माझ्यातील संयम, कष्ट करण्याची जिद्द आणि साहजिकच ज्ञानामध्ये खूप भर पडली. टॉपर्सचे लेखी पेपर्स नघून त्यात आपण कुठे कमी पडतोय आणि कोणत्या भागांवर आणखी काम करण्याची, अभ्यास करण्याची गरज आहे हे पडताळून बघण्याची सवय येथील शिक्षक मित्रांनी लावली. या सगळ्या प्रक्रियेमध्ये असताना चाणक्य मंडलमध्ये धर्माधिकारी सरांनी अधिष्ठान मालिकेमध्ये सांगितलेल्या ‘स्व’ ची ओळख आणि ‘स्वाध्याय’ पद्धती यांचा खूप फायदा झाला आणि माझ्या जाणिवेच्या कक्षा रुंदावत गेल्या. खूप खूप धन्यवाद.14

(सहा. राज्यकर आयुक्त, २०२० )
२०१९ मध्ये पुण्यात आल्यानंतर कुटुंब आणि मित्रपरिवार अभ्यासामध्ये मार्गदर्शन करण्यासाठी होताच परंतु सारखं वाटायचं कि काहीतरी चुकतंय. अशावेळी माझी ओळख अभिजीत शिंदे सर व दिग्विजय पाटील यांच्याशी झाली आणि चाणक्य मंडल परिवारसोबतचा माझा प्रवास सुरु झाला. त्यावेळी माझ्या अभ्यासाला योग्य दिशा मिळाली आणि अवघ्या दोन वर्षांच्या प्रयत्नांनंतर मला यश मिळाले. याबद्दल मी चाणक्य मंडल परिवारचा कायम ऋणी राहील.

मी चाणक्य मंडल परिवारमध्ये 2015-16 साली UPSC Comprehensive कोर्ससाठी प्रवेश घेतला आणि तेव्हापासून आजपर्यंत माझ्या स्पर्धापरीक्षेच्या तयारीच्या प्रवासात चाणक्य मंडल परिवार माझ्यासोबत आहे. 2017 साली मी MPSC राज्यसेवा परीक्षेचीची तयारी चालू केली. दरम्यान राज्यसेवा मुख्य परीक्षा आणि मुलाखतीची तयारीसुद्धा चाणक्य मंडलमध्येच केली. त्यासोबतच धर्माधिकारी सरांनी चाणक्य मंडलमध्ये फॅकल्टी म्हणुन काम करण्याची संधीपण मला दिली त्यामुळे आणखी अभ्यास करण्यासाठी प्रोत्साहन मिळत गेले. धर्माधिकारी सरांचे मार्गदर्शन आणि इथल्या फॅकल्टीज जसे अभिजित शिंदे, रोहिणी ताई, अनिल दादा यांची साथ नसती तर हा प्रवास अजून खडतर झाला असता, यासाठी मी सर्वांचा नेहमी ऋणी राहीन.

Abhang Dilip Joshi

(AIR 47, Asst. Commandant, ITBP)
Though I consider myself to be a member of Chanakya Mandal Pariwar since even before I was born, I formally joined it through the UPSC Comprehensive course of 2016-17. Since the commencement of the course, the insights about the examination in particular and life, in general, were aptly shared by Shri Avinash Dharmadhikari Sir. The fundamental principle of ‘Knowing Thyself’ changed my inclination towards the field of Armed Forces. So, I started working towards making a career in the Indian Army and CAPF through UPSC CDS and UPSC CAPF respectively. As my basics were already structured during the comprehensive course, the switch from CSE to CAPF was trouble-free. Before being recommended as an Assitant Commandant in ITBP with AIR 47 in 2018, I had a fair share of failures as well. I got merit out in CDS 1 and CDS 2 of 2017, CDS 1 of 2018 as well as CAPF 2017. Throughout this struggle, I was fortunate enough to have had the blessings of Dharmadhikari Sir. For me, he was not only a source of motivation but a lighthouse to a stranded ship. His words, “Abhang, I know you will do it” kept calling my boat to the shore of success. Not so long after the declaration of result, I underwent rigorous training in ITBP Academy at Mussoorie. I take pride in admitting that if I wasn’t a true CMPian I would have not to be able to go through such meticulous training that transformed me from a civilian to a soldier. I am blessed enough to say that I not only completed the training but also achieved the rare feat of getting three trophies (Best Indoor Trainee, Best Conduct and Overall Best Trainee) which happened for the first time in the history of ITBP and got conferred with Home Minister’s Sword of Honour. The lion’s share of the credit for my entire journey goes to Dharmadhikari Sir and Chanakya Mandal Pariwar. Jai Hind!

(AIR 44, IAS-2019, Odisha Cadre)
2015 साली जेव्हा मी यूपीएससीची तयारी करण्याचा निर्णय घेतला तेव्हा चाणक्य मंडल परिवार हा माझा पहिला आणि एकमेक पर्याय होता. मी चाणक्य मंडलमध्ये 2015-16 चा UPSC Comprehensive Course केला. इथे मला पूर्वपरीक्षा, मुख्य परीक्षा आणि मुलाखतीचे पूर्ण मार्गदर्शन मिळाले. जेव्हा जेव्हा मी आयोगाच्या मुलाखतीसाठी पात्र ठरलो होतो तेव्हा तेव्हा मी धर्माधिकारी सरांकडे Mock Interview दिले. सरांच्या मार्गदर्शनाचा आणि Feedback चा खूप फायदा झाला. चाणक्य मंडलने मला फॅकल्टी म्हणून शिकवण्याचीसुद्धा संधी दिली त्यामुळे माझा अभ्यास होण्यास फार मदत झाली. इथे मला अभ्यासाचे मार्गदर्शन तर उत्तमरीत्या मिळालेच परंतु बऱ्याच अपयशानंतर जेव्हा मी मानसिकदृष्ट्या ढासळलो होतो तेव्हा मला धीर देण्याचं काम धर्माधिकारी सरांनी केलं त्याबद्दल सरांचा मी नेहमी ऋणी असेल.

SEBI Grade 'A' 2020
Chanakya Mandal Pariwar is not just a coaching center for me, it’s one of its own kind of support system. Chanakya Mandal comprehensively helped me right from the beginning to the last mile of my journey of competitive examinations in terms of guidance, study infrastructure etc. Chanakya Mandal even organised the distinguished interview panel for my SEBI Mock interview including Avinash Dharmadhikari sir. Dharmadhikari sir is an endless source of motivation in the ups and downs of the journey. In this way, Chanakya Mandal shaped my attitude as well as aptitude in the right way. I am grateful at the same time very proud of my association with Chanakya Mandal Pariwar.

सुभ्रमण्य केळकर

(IPS, तामिळनाडू केडर)
चाणक्य मंडलमध्ये शिक्षक वर्ग आणि मित्रपरिवारही चांगला मिळाला. पुढे तर आम्हाला शिकविणारे दादा माझे मित्र झाले. खऱ्या अर्थाने परिवार तयार झाला व अभ्यास सुरू ठेवला. वैकल्पिक विषयाचा कमी वेळेमध्ये अभ्यास करण्यासाठी धर्माधिकारी सरांची खूप मदत झाली. मुख्य परीक्षेचे व वैकल्पिक विषयाचे सर्व पेपर मी धर्माधिकारी सरांकडून तपासून घेतले. पुढे मुख्य परीक्षेचा निकाल आला व मी उत्तीर्ण झाल्याचे समजले. मुलाखतीसाठी धर्माधिकारी सरांनी पुन्हा खूप मार्गदर्शन केले. शिवाय माझी मुलाखत चांगली जावी यासाठी माझ्या चाणक्य मंडलमधील अनेक मित्रांनी खूप प्रयत्न केले. पुढे UPSC उत्तीर्ण होऊन देशात ४९७ क्रमांक आला. धर्माधिकारी सर नेहमी म्हणतात तसे “UPSC उत्तीर्ण होऊन पद मिळणे हा प्रवासाचा शेवट नसून सुरुवात आहे. निवडीनंतर अधिक जबाबदारीने वागून देशसेवा करणे अपेक्षित आहे.” त्याप्रमाणे सर्व ध्यानात ठेवून आणि मुख्य म्हणजे पाय जमिनीवर राहतील याकडे लक्ष देऊन वागण्याचा प्रयत्न सुरू आहे.

Hope is life; if you don’t have the hope, you can’t have the life. At Chanakya Mandal Pariwar you will always find that hope.

IAS 2014
There are many institutes which can guide you in your journey of becoming a civil servant, but there are few which help build character as well. Chanakya Mandal Pariwar has been the crucible in while steel of my character has been tempered under able vigilance of Avinash Dharmadhikari sir. Had it not been for him, my poor mother would have never been able to support my preparation as I would have to pay the fees which he waived for me. I am indebted to him, and to CMP, for making me who I am – a Karyakarta Adhikari

Selected Nayab Tahasildar
Avinash Dharmadhikari Sir & CMP has been an inspiration to the likes of us. He has been a constant support through thick and thin. He has imbibed the process of “being” a good officer in me. “Being” has a special mention because the process is never complete and bureaucracy is not insulated from social, political, economic and technological changes. Just as we say Human Being wherein the process of being human is continuous and does not stop. So has CMP imbibed the spirit in us to march towards perfection and professionalism with utmost humility, fairness, honesty, integrity and firm commitment while carrying out the sovereign functions of the state. Thank you, Sir and CMP.
