Pawan Kumar was born in a thatched mud house in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. A photograph of his house has gone viral, showing his family sitting on a cot under a thatched roof covered with tarpaulin. The photo also shows a couple of cattle tied to a corner of the same ‘room without four walls’. His father is a marginal farmer with four bigha plots of land who finds occasional jobs under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGA), and his mother is a homemaker.

The video was shared first by 2009-batch IAS Awanish Sharan, who is at present DC, Bilaspur, in Chhattisgarh.
