Rakesh Kumar Jha has spent more than two decades nurturing minds and shaping aspirations.
NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044
Rakesh Kumar Jha tells us a story shaped by conscious choices, sustained discipline and an enduring belief in the transformative power of education. His life unfolds at a rhythm that values patience over publicity and substance over spectacle. His journey has grown quietly and steadily, gaining depth and meaning with time rather than urgency.
His life is not a narrative of deliberate effort guided by purpose more than overnight recognition or accidental achievement. Through years of learning, teaching and reflection, his life stands as a reminder that education, when pursued with integrity, has the power to shape not only individual destinies but also the moral and intellectual fabric of society.
From a small village background to the national platforms of education, media and public discourse, Rakesh Kumar Jha has spent more than two decades nurturing minds and shaping aspirations. His work as a civil services coach, author, academic contributor, anchor and motivational mentor reflects a deeper commitment to public service rather than personal prominence.
Early Life and the Power of Aspiration Like countless young Indians who grow up far from metropolitan privilege, Rakesh Kumar Jha’s early life was rooted in simplicity. The resources were limited, but the ambition was not. Education was seen as a path to dignity and social contribution. Delhi attracted him as it has attracted generations of young Indians who arrive with dreams of academic excellence and a desire to serve the nation. Within the intellectually vibrant environment of Delhi University, he pursued his graduation and post-graduation with seriousness, discipline and clarity of purpose. These years shaped his academic temperament and sharpened his understanding of society and governance.
He went on to complete a Master’s degree in Mass Communication from Kurukshetra University, a step that added professional depth and a broader perspective to his strong academic foundation. Alongside formal degrees, he undertook specialized training in journalism, book publishing, media research and English language proficiency from nationally respected institutions such as the National Book Trust, Indian Institute of Mass Communication and the British Council, New Delhi. They broadened his understanding of communication, governance and the role of knowledge in shaping society.
The Defining Turning Point The years 2004 and 2005 marked a crucial turning point in his life. After appearing for the Civil Services Examination, Rakesh Kumar Jha stood at a crossroads familiar to many capable young professionals. With his academic background, he could have pursued a career in journalism, law, corporate media, or institutional communication. These paths offered stability and recognition. Yet, he chose differently.
Instead of seeking personal advancement through established professional routes, he decided to dedicate himself to training and mentoring young people, particularly those preparing for civil services and public sector roles. This decision was not driven by compulsion or lack of opportunity. It was a deliberate choice rooted in conviction.
He believed that while individual success matters, empowering others multiplies impact. He understood that classrooms, libraries and mentoring spaces are as critical to nation building as administrative offices and policy chambers.
The Early Struggles of a First-Generation Educator The initial phase of this journey was challenging. With limited institutional backing and a small student base, the struggle was not just financial or logistical. The deeper challenge was credibility.
Students are discerning. They place their future in the hands of those they trust. Earning that trust takes time. In the early days, classrooms were not full. Recognition was limited. The question that confronted him repeatedly was simple yet demanding. Why should students believe in his ability to guide them toward success? His answer was consistency. He invested deeply in preparation, content development and pedagogical clarity. He focused on substance over show, discipline over shortcuts and understanding over memorization.
Gradually, students began to notice the difference. Word spread. Confidence grew. Results followed.
Building Authority Through Work, Not Noise As his reputation strengthened, his work expanded beyond classroom teaching. Rakesh Kumar Jha began engaging with broader audiences through All India Radio, television studios, academic seminars and public forums. Whether addressing students, moderating discussions, or participating in policy conversations, the challenge remained consistent. Every audience required credibility.
Each platform demanded preparation and humility. He learned to communicate complex ideas in accessible language without diluting their seriousness. His engagement with national and international seminars, government institutions and private organizations reflected an approach grounded in balance rather than rhetoric. This steady engagement across platforms established him as a voice of reasoned analysis rather than sensational commentary.
Students as the True Measure of Success Despite his growing visibility, Rakesh Kumar Jha has always measured success through a different lens. For him, the most meaningful milestones are not awards or appearances. They are the achievements of his students. Over the years, he has mentored thousands of aspirants. Many of them have gone on to serve in administrative, bureaucratic and public service roles across the country. Some now hold positions of significant responsibility in district administration and governance. These moments, when students succeed and contribute to society, remain his most cherished rewards. He views teaching as a long-term responsibility rather than a transactional activity.
To explain this philosophy, he often uses a simple yet powerful metaphor. Success, he says, is like planting a tree. You nurture it patiently for years before it bears fruit. The fruit does not arrive immediately, but when it does, it sustains many. Encounters That Reinforced Purpose
Throughout his journey, Rakesh Kumar Jha has interacted with some of the most respected figures in public life. Meetings with Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, former CBI Director Dr. Tri Nath Mishra, Governors like T N Chaturvedi, B.P. Singh and other distinguished administrators and thinkers became moments of reflection and learning.
These interactions did not alter his path. Instead, they strengthened his belief that leadership is ultimately about service and accountability. They reaffirmed his conviction that education remains the most enduring instrument of social change.
Author and Contributor to Intellectual Discourse Parallel to his teaching and mentoring work, Rakesh Kumar Jha has made significant contributions as an author and writer. His books and co-authored works explore themes of governance, society, media, language and international relations. His writing style mirrors his teaching approach. It is structured, balanced and rooted in real world relevance. Whether discussing parliamentary traditions, the relationship between society and institutions, or India’s global engagements, he writes with the clarity of an educator rather than the urgency of a commentator. These publications have further strengthened his role as a public intellectual committed to informed discourse.
A Philosophy Shaped by Discipline and Patience At the heart of Rakesh Kumar Jha’s journey lies a philosophy that is both simple and demanding. He does not promise shortcuts or quick success. He emphasizes continuous effort, strategic thinking and emotional resilience. His message to young people is consistent and grounded in experience. Work sincerely and persistently. Do not lose patience when progress is slow. Build clarity of direction. Align passion with preparation. Remain committed even when recognition is delayed. He reminds students that his own journey involved years of study, multiple academic programs, professional training, seminars, debates and public engagements. None of it was accidental. None of it was wasted.
Rooted in Service, Not Spotlight In an age dominated by digital visibility and instant validation, Rakesh Kumar Jha represents a quieter tradition of leadership. His influence is measured not by online metrics, but by lived outcomes. Not by applause, but by impact. He belongs to a generation of educators who believe that the true purpose of knowledge is transformation. Transformation of individuals who go on to serve society with integrity, responsibility and awareness.
A Life That Continues to Grow The journey of Rakesh Kumar Jha does not fit into dramatic headlines. It fits into something deeper and more enduring. It is the story of a man who chose meaning over momentum, service over security and long-term contribution over short term comfort.
Like the tree he often speaks of, his work continues to grow steadily. It provides guidance, shelter and nourishment to generations of learners. And perhaps that is the most powerful lesson his life offers. True success does not announce itself. It grows quietly and it lasts.
Visualize What You Desire | Pay Attention | Practice Appreciation | Energize Yourself | Choose Your Attitude | NV Paulose +91 98441 82044
1. Pay Attention The first step is to notice what is happening around you. We are all shifting reality all the time, but most of us do not realize it. Begin watching for anything that appears, disappears, transforms, moves, or changes in time. Even very small changes count. Stay uncritical, because there is no real difference between a tiny shift and a large one. Awareness is where everything begins.
2. Practice Appreciation As you begin noticing changes, appreciate them. Be grateful for even the smallest positive experiences in your life. Appreciation increases reverence for life and naturally brings more positive shifts. Gratitude toward yourself and others creates an environment where reality shifts are easier to experience.
3. Review Scientific Studies If Needed Some people feel more comfortable when ideas are supported by science. If that is you, reviewing scientific studies can help calm the analytical mind. Modern physics increasingly suggests there may be no single objective reality. Experiments such as the double slit experiment show that observation affects outcomes, which supports the idea that multiple realities can exist at the same time.
4. Revisit Your Assumptions Many assumptions come from classical thinking that values only what can be measured. Yet emotions, consciousness, love, and identity are deeply real, even though they cannot be measured in a traditional way. Questioning these assumptions allows you to experience reality in a more flexible and expansive manner.
5. Energize Yourself Taking care of your body, mind, and spirit is essential. Eat nourishing food, get adequate rest, and move your body in ways that feel supportive. Practices such as meditation, breathing exercises, qigong, or other internal movement arts help raise your energy and clarity. Your personal vitality strongly influences how you experience reality.
6. Reverse Negative Self Talk Negative thoughts can collapse possibilities before they have a chance to unfold. Fear based thinking often brings about what we least want. Counter this by creating affirmations that directly reverse negative beliefs. Think of them as mental antibodies. If you are unsure what to address, simply ask, How good can it get?
7. Feel Non Local Connection You are not alone. Connection goes beyond physical distance. Community, shared intention, spiritual support, and even engaging with this material create a sense of belonging. Feeling supported strengthens your confidence and your ability to shift reality.
8. Visualize What You Desire Imagine what you wish to experience, while leaving space for something even better. Rather than being rigid, hold your vision gently. Openness allows reality to meet you in ways you may not have anticipated.
9. Let Go After focusing on your intention, release it. Like planting a seed, you must allow it room to grow. Letting go through breath, relaxation, or meditation creates the freedom needed for shifts to occur. Holding too tightly can slow the process.
10. Choose Your Attitude Your attitude shapes your experience. Aim for the highest emotional state you can genuinely access, whether that is calm, hope, gratitude, joy, or awe. Wherever you are, accept it and look gently upward. Asking How good can it get keeps your reality moving in a positive direction.

The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences organised a Drawing Workshop and Competition on 14th February 2026 at Govt.

Serious Violation of CRZ NOC Conditions in Netravathi Riverfront Project?
The No Objection Certificate (NOC) dated 07-10-2022 (Ref No. FEE 17 CRZ 2022) issued by the Karnataka State Coastal Zone Management Authority to Mangalore Smart City Limited for the Netravathi Riverfront Promenade Project clearly states a crucial condition:
No permanent structures / concrete structures shall be constructed.
However, on the ground, what do we see?
Concrete buildings
Office structures
Toilet blocks
Buggy sheds
Food kiosks
Ticket counters
Retaining walls
If these constructions are indeed permanent concrete structures, they appear to be in direct violation of the explicit condition imposed in the NOC.
The riverfront belongs to the people. Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) permissions are not mere formalities — they are meant to protect fragile coastal ecosystems and prevent irreversible environmental damage.
This raises serious questions:
• Was the condition of the NOC ignored?
• Who monitored compliance?
• Has the Karnataka State Coastal Zone Management Authority inspected the site?
• Will accountability be fixed for violation of CRZ norms?
Development cannot come at the cost of environmental law.
Citizens deserve transparency. Authorities must clarify whether the project complies with the NOC conditions or explain how such permanent constructions were permitted.
