In a notable achievement for the minority Hindu community in Pakistan, Jeevan Rebari and Khem Chand Jandora have been selected to join the Central Superior Services (CSS), as announced by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC). They were part of a competitive examination process where 12,792 candidates participated, and only 170 were selected. This selection underscores the ongoing struggles of the Hindu community, which numbers approximately 3.8 million in Pakistan, primarily residing in Sindh province. Despite their significant population, 123 seats reserved for minorities in the civil service remain unfilled. Khem Chand's family faced financial hardships, taking loans and selling jewelry to support his education, while Jeevan, who had to live in a gurdwara during his studies, achieved success on general merit. Their selection is a continuation of Hindu representation in Pakistan's civil service, following the earlier appointment of Rajendra Menghwar as the first Hindu in the Police Service of Pakistan in 2021.
