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...

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...

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
Mr. Sunil Kadam
Asst. Commandant Border Security Force (BSF) Chanakya Mandal Pariwar has always been home for me. I was brought up here & it has been almost 10 years I am a part of this huge family. What I find here attractive is the evolutionary & revolutionary spirit. Once you are here, you start to believe in bringing revolutionary changes for the better future of India. 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.
Vishal Solanki
Chanakya Mandal has immensely helped me to shape my worldview in conformity with eternal and age-old values of Indian civilization. All the aspirants who wish to excel in their careers will certainly gain true knowledge with a sense of purpose by actively involving themselves in various activities of this Institution.

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...
