On the occasion of the Teacher’s Day, the JSPL Foundation, the CSR arm of Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL), launched a ‘Project Utkarsh’ to provide free online interactive pre-recruitment coaching for youths of socially and economically weaker sections in Angul district.
The project has been started in collaboration with the IAS Gurukul, a leading institute for civil service coaching in Bhubaneswar.
Under the programme, about 300 meritorious graduates, 200 women and 100 men, from Angul district, including, would be imparted advanced coaching for various competitive examinations, including civil services, banks and others.
JSPL Foundation chairperson and Chancellor of OP Jindal University Shallu Jindal said, “This will certainly give wing to the career of the educated youths, mainly those living in rural and semiurban areas.”
Under this project, experienced faculties of IAS Gurukul would provide online classes in various subjects like Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, General Studies, English and others. The selected students can prepare themselves for various competitive examinations conducted for railways banking, defence, insurance and Government services.
Selection of the students for the coaching would be made based on merit-cum-means. Meritorious students from economically disadvantaged sections and backward classes would be given preference.
