Launch of Free Coaching

Chauhan announced that free coaching for competitive examinations will commence on October 5. Applications open on September 10, offering a structured pathway for aspirants seeking guidance and resources.

Historical Background

Raisen has historically grappled with limited access to educational technology, despite several central schemes. Rural students often faced a digital divide that hindered their ability to compete at national levels. The latest laptop distribution and coaching program directly addresses these longstanding gaps.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that providing digital tools and free coaching in semi‑urban districts like Raisen can boost competitive exam success rates by up to 30%, narrowing the urban‑rural education gap.

"Strengthening digital education is the key to bringing rural talent onto the national stage," said education expert Dr. Anjali Singh.
