By providing free online coaching, the scheme attempts to bridge this accessibility gap. It can allow students to prepare for prestigious examinations without having to relocate to major coaching hubs.
The annual target of 11,000 aspirants also indicates an effort to expand the reach of competitive-exam preparation across the state.
