Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath will on Monday launch the Abhyudaya scheme to start free-of-cost coaching centers in the state. The event is likely to begin at 10 am. The scheme aims to provide assistance to all such students who want to prepare for these exams but are unable to do due to their financial status.

The coaching centers will be first set up at the divisional level and then at the district level in the second phase.

Here’s everything to know about the Abhyudaya scheme:

• The free-of-cost coaching institutes will start functioning from ‘Basant Panchami’ (February 16), the day of worship to the goddess of learning, Saraswati.
• Under the scheme, the students will be able to attend offline classes and will also get online study material.
• The coaching will also involve the provision of direct counseling by senior IAS, IPS, and PCS officers for the aspirants.
• In the case of examinations like the National Defence Academy (NDA) and combined Defence Services (CDS), thorough training will be given by principals of Sainik Schools in UP.
• There will also be separate classes for NEET and Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission into the prestigious IITs. All the lectures and complete study material covering the entire syllabus of various examinations will be made available online.
• For better guidance, the state government will also organize doubt solving sessions to help candidates choose the best field for them. It will be accompanied by discussions with experts as guest lecturers.

Adityanath had announced the launch of the scheme on January 24, the statehood day of Uttar Pradesh. “The coaching centers will give a new platform to youths and motivate them to scale new heights,” he had said.
