In a major boost to education in rural areas, the Uttar Pradesh government is expanding its Abhyudaya Free Coaching Scheme to the block level. This move follows the remarkable success of Abhyudaya students in national competitive exams and aims to bring high-quality exam preparation closer to students in villages, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds.
Why This Expansion Matters
Many students in remote areas particularly girls face challenges like long travel distances, financial hardship and family restrictions when trying to attend coaching classes. By setting up block-level coaching centres, the state plans to make free, quality coaching more accessible to every deserving student, right in their own communities.
Recent Successes That Inspired the Expansion
- In the current year, 81 Abhyudaya students cleared NEET and 13 cracked the UPSC Civil Services Exam.
- These results encouraged the government to take coaching beyond district headquarters and into smaller towns and blocks.
How the Coaching Will Work at Block Level
The new centres will use a hybrid learning model:
- Offline Classes: Retired teachers and local officials will conduct in-person classes in block areas.
- Online Sessions: Experienced educators and civil servants will teach through virtual platforms.
- Standardized Curriculum: All classes will follow high-quality study materials designed by Abhyudaya’s core centres at the district level to ensure uniform learning across the state.
