Bhanu Pratap worked diligently to do something good in life. Instead of becoming a doctor, he became a Head Constable in the Police Department of Rajasthan.

Bhanu Pratap Singh Solanki has been working in Rajasthan Police for the past thirteen years. Currently, he is working as a Head Constable in the Anti-Terrorism Institute, Jaipur.

Bhanu Pratap hails from Jheel Wara village in Kumbhalgarh Tehsil of Rajsamand district. He did his primary education from his village and then he came to Vidya Bhawan Public School, Udaipur for further studies. His dream was to become a Doctor due to the ill health of his parents. But because of not getting good marks, he could not get Science-Bio stream in 11th & 12th. Gradually, his interest in studies started waning and he got engaged in other frivolous things. Due to financial constraints, he didn’t even go to a good college for graduation and fell into bad company.

Bhanu Pratap took admission in B.Com in B.N. College, Udaipur. There he was good at sports in which he participated in National camps and also attended NCC camps. But due to passing first year in the second division, his father became quite disappointed with him and he dropped all that and focused on his career. He gave the Constable exam and also started taking coaching for CAT from IMS, Udaipur. His result came soon and the journey of his career started with the rank of a Constable.

When asked about his childhood memories, Bhanu Pratap says that his childhood was great in the early days. But suddenly  his father fell ill and he had to leave his job. Due to that, his family’s financial condition became so bad that they had to leave the city and he had to go to a government school. After this incident, his childhood was spent in poverty and misery. He saw his father working as a labourer but he was helpless as a kid and could not do anything and it kept him rattled.

Bhanu Pratap says about his struggles that although there were many struggles in his life, but in the job of a policeman, he had to face many difficulties especially during training.

Regarding Corona, Bhanu Pratap says that during the initial phase of Covid, he was posted in the Anti-Trafficking Unit of Udaipur working on a campaign called ‘Operation Khushi’ to free Udaipur from child labour. Then there was a knock of Covid but still, taking all the precautions, he actively did that operation. He says that Covid gave everyone a good time to stay with family and people also experienced the life of the villages and enjoyed it. He has also lost some family members due to Covid.

Bhanu Pratap considers Maharana Pratap as his first role model because of his dedication, sacrifice and self-respect. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also his role model for his simple nature, staying calm in every situation and being a good leader.

If someone wants to do a job in the Police Department, then he advises them to first love this job before joining it. Because if you don’t love your job then many situations will come in which you will feel that you have made the wrong decision. Apart from this, tolerance and patience is very important in this job.

If Bhanu Pratap had a chance to go back in time, he would have chosen one of the sports and try to become a perfectionist and a good player of that sport. Second, he would change the decision of taking Arts in 11th by taking Science-Bio in some other school and fulfil his dream of becoming a Doctor.

In his spare time, Bhanu Pratap enjoys spending time with his friends. Apart from this, he likes going to the mountains, walking to the forests, enjoying natural beauty, swimming in a well and walking in the fields.

Bhanu Pratap advises everyone that anytime you meet someone, treat him with respect, make him feel good instead of making him feel small. Second, be so polite and positive by nature that any person will feel comfortable sitting with you. And always give importance to your parents for all their sacrifices and compromises.
