Thereafter, he passed the UPSC examination and secured 109th rank and made Haryana state proud.

Ajay Singhal’s uncle Ved Prakash Singhal is still living in Rewari with his family. He worked as Principal in Satish Public Secondary School. Vedprakash Singhal made Rewari district famous across the country in the field of table tennis.

Even today, the ancestral mansion of the Singhal family is there in Bas Sitabarai of Rewari. Uncle Vedprakash Singhal, who lives here, said that Ajay was very smart in studies.
