Speaking to media after the results were out, Anubhav said, “I studied in a government primary school and then at BBS Inter College. It was only in Roorkee that I worked upon my English and personality. There is only one mantra for success, and that is hard work. Internet also helped me in many ways in my preparation for the GS paper,” he said.
