His family was financially weak while he was growing up. His father used to work as a part-time electrician to make ends meet. His mother used to work as a domestic cook in her local area, and she also worked at banquet halls and restaurants to fund Safin’s education.

He chose the Science stream after scoring 92% in his board examinations in class 10th. A school in his district had reduced his school fees by more than 50% so that he could easily study there. In class 11th, he started learning English.

He used to give tuitions to young children during his summer and winter vacations for pocket money.

When Safin was in school, a Collector had visited his school. Safin was astonished to see that everyone including his teachers and the school principal was paying respect to him and treating the Collector like a king. He returned home, and he asked his aunt why was everyone being so respectful to the Collector. His aunt explained it to him that the post of an IAS officer is a very respectable one and it can be achieved by anyone through studying hard. It was on that day that Safin decided to join the Civil Services.

His expenditure for the Civil Services coaching and examination in New Delhi was provided by a couple named Mr Husainbhai and Mrs Jarinaben. Once in an interview, she said-

I share no blood relation with them, but we share a human relation, and that is above all. They are the reason why I could afford to study in Delhi”
