This ecosystem has transformed the area into a vibrant and competitive hub, where students from all corners of the country come to chase their dreams of becoming civil servants.[1][2]
Protests[edit]
Filled with a huge number of aspirants and students, Mukherjee Nagar has been the epicenter of many student agendas and protests, especially against UPSC (2013)[3] and against SSC (2017)[4] both of which spread quickly nationwide, and led to involvement of Government of India either in form of Judicial activism in the former, or involving inspection by CBI[5] in the latter.
