Bini Muduli Becomes First Bonda Tribe Girl to Clear Odisha Civil Service Exam, Inspiring Generations
In a historic achievement, Bini Muduli, a young woman from the Bonda community—one of India’s most vulnerable tribal groups—has become the first from her tribe to pass the Odisha Civil Services (OCS) examination. Bini’s remarkable feat, securing the 596th rank, has not only made her family proud but also inspired her entire community in Khemaguda village, Malkangiri district.
Born into a family of limited means, Bini’s mother, Sunamali Kirsani, works as an anganwadi worker, while her father, Ram Muduli, is a school cook. Despite these challenges, Bini overcame significant obstacles to achieve her dream. With no access to expensive coaching institutes or formal guidance, she turned to the internet as her classroom, relying solely on YouTube tutorials and free online resources. Every day brought new hurdles—whether poor network connectivity, household responsibilities, or skepticism from others—but Bini remained determined, convinced that her aspirations were stronger than her circumstances.
Her dedication and perseverance, combined with the effective use of online tools, helped her succeed in the highly competitive OCS exam conducted by the Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC).
Reflecting on her achievement, Bini expressed gratitude for the unwavering support of her parents, friends, and teachers. “My parents helped me a lot. My journey from a school in Bonda Ghati to becoming an officer has many layers,” she said. Her father, Ram Muduli, beamed with pride. “I am proud of her. She will become an inspiration for many girl students,” he said.
Bini’s victory is not just about clearing an exam—it symbolizes what’s possible for marginalized communities. Her story serves as a powerful reminder that with determination, family support, and access to technology, even the most daunting obstacles can be overcome. For the Bonda tribe, long overlooked and underrepresented, her success is a beacon of hope, inspiring young people to dream big and pursue education.
This triumph highlights the transformative power of education in breaking barriers and uplifting underprivileged communities. A resident of Khemaguda summed it up perfectly: “Bini’s story is proof that education is a great equalizer, inspiring not just her community but generations to come.”
