RANCHI: The Jharkhand government has invited applications from Scheduled Tribe (ST) students for free residential coaching to prepare for the NEET and JEE entrance examinations under the “Jharkhand Scheduled Tribe Education Upliftment Programme, ” a government statement said.
The scheme, launched by the Department of SC, ST, Minority and Backward Classes Welfare, aims to support meritorious tribal students aspiring to become doctors and engineers by removing financial barriers to quality coaching.
A total of 300 students will be selected for the programme, which will be conducted at the Multipurpose Hall-cum-Training Centre in Hindpiri, Ranchi, in collaboration with a Kota-based coaching institute.
Project Director of the Integrated Tribal Development Agency, Sanjay Kumar Bhagat, described the initiative as a “visionary effort” to ensure that tribal youth from Jharkhand are not deprived of opportunities due to economic constraints.
