The prime minister had announced free online coaching for aspirants preparing for competitive exams to ease the financial burden on their families. “Coaching classes burden the poor and the middle class. By the end of the days-long agitation, the government was forced to concede the protesters’ key demand, the resignation of then education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Joshi said on X that the meeting with the officials of the Department of Higher Education focused on “building a robust national platform that makes high-quality learning content, expert guidance and structured preparation accessible to students across the country”. We will provide free online coaching for various exams,” Modi said in his address to the nation on India’s 80th Independence Day. The prime minister said he assures these families that they can save “thousands of crores of rupees” spent on coaching, be close to their children, and care for them.
