New Delhi, 5 October 2021 – Owing to the impressive performance of the UPSC candidates belonging to Rajasthan, the state government has decided to offer special scholarships to the students preparing for civil services this year. This scholarship will be launched under the Mukhyamantri Anuprati Coaching Yojana 2021 which aims to provide financial assistance to Economically Weaker Section (EWS) students of every category, so that they can prepare for various professional courses and competitive exams.
While announcing the scheme, CM Gehlot stated, “There are many such students in Rajasthan who suffer from the bad financial condition and they are unable to complete their education. The students who were willing to prepare for competitive examinations organized by the central and state government are compelled to leave their studies in between but now every student of Rajasthan will study and we will ensure that no student preparing for the competitive exam has to leave studies due to the financial crisis. Our government will encourage them and it will be implemented soon.”
