An IAS Officer of 2019 batch of Himachal Pradesh Cadre, Abhishek is to join his first posting as Assistant Commissioner in Shimla this year.

His father Dinanath Pandey is a SAIL employee and mother Poonam Devi is a housewife.
Sharing his experiences on the role of the school, Garg said, “DPS Bokaro ensures a peaceful environment for the study that helps the students achieve their goals. The ‘Home Room’ periods were of immense help wherein our Class Teacher would motivate us for various career options including the Civil Services. I thank the school for the great ambience. The teachers taught us discipline and being in a peer group of the sharpest ones facilitated healthy competition.”
“Root of success lie in the foundations at the school,” stated Garg. He also added that he will forever cherish the values learnt at the school and live up to the school motto ‘Service before Self’. Addressing the students of Class 12 on the virtual platform during the ‘Guest Interaction Programme’, he reiterated that the goal of chasing UPSC should not be based on reasons like fame or power, rather it needs to be layered by strong conviction towards selfless service to humanity.
Principal, DPS Bokaro, A S Gangwar, congratulated Garg and said ” It is through sheer determination, that one can write the success story. I am confident Abhishek will serve the society and become one of the trendsetters.”
