He did a degree course in the subject in 2013 and started serving the state in January 2014.
When asked about his role models, Arif says his parents have been his role models, as they taught him good lessons and morals.
Sharing his opinion on education and experience, Arif says education is important as it is required to get a job and also provides us with knowledge to make better decisions. However, experience is based on education, as better education leads to an effective experience at work.
Advising the younger generation who wants to join the field of museology and conservation, Arif says you should have a proper knowledge of the history of Rajasthan and its historical places, as it will help in the effective accomplishment of tasks. You can apply for government vacancies and should read good books to get the right information about the tours and tourism of Rajasthan.
