Mukhyamantri Abhyuday Yojana to benefit students in every dist

Prayagraj: Now, the youths of the small towns in the state would also be benefiting from the classes being conducted under the Mukhyamantri Abhyuday Yojana. These classes, which offer free coaching to meritorious students across the state who cannot afford private tuition/coaching classes fees, would now be held in every district of the state instead of just the divisional headquarters.
The scheme was launched by chief minister Yogi Adityanath on February 15, 2021. As part of the Abhyuday scheme, the UP government has set up coaching centres and offered free classes to prepare the students for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) for engineering, National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for the medical aspirants, the entrance exam for the National Defence Academy, Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination and Union Public Service Commission exams. The platform has over 500 IAS officers, over 450 IPS officers, over 300 IFS officers and several experts on various subjects who contribute by creating educational content through physical classes and virtual sessions for civil services and other competitive exams aspirants. A dedicated portal http://www.abhyuday.up.gov.in/- too has been launched for benefit ofstudents.
These training classes were given online during the multiple lockdowns that the state went through. Gradually, the ‘Abhyuday’ coaching centres were set up at the divisional level in the first phase and is now being followed up at the district level in the next phase, informed officials of the state social welfare department. For paving way for the classes to begin at the district level, a missive has already been sent to all the Divisional Commissioners and District Magistrates on behalf of Director of Social Welfare Department. Now preparations are on to constitute district-level committees, he added.
Deputy director (social welfare), Prayagraj, Manjushree Srivastava said, “This time, the Chief Minister Abhyudaya Yojana classes are to be held in all the districts of the state”. She added, “State social welfare director’s letter has arrived in this regard. District-level committees are being constituted. This is the reason that the classes which were to start from November 15, have been stopped for the time being. As soon as the committees are constituted in all districts of the division, the classes will start simultaneously in all the 75 districts in the state.”
