MP to Provide Free Coaching and Hike Research Scholarships
CM Mohan Yadav announces free competitive exam coaching in MP colleges and a major hike in research scholarships to empower the state's youth.
In a massive boost to students and aspiring professionals, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has announced that the state government will now provide free coaching for competitive examinations in government colleges across every district. This landmark decision was unveiled during the CM Youth Conclave-2026 held at the Lal Parade Ground in Bhopal.
Addressing a massive gathering of young minds, the Chief Minister emphasized the government's commitment to empowering the youth through education and better employment opportunities. The announcement aims to level the playing field for students who may not have the financial means to access expensive private coaching institutes.
Major Boost for Researchers and Innovators
Beyond competitive exam preparation, the Chief Minister also addressed the needs of the academic and entrepreneurial community. In a move set to encourage higher studies, the monthly scholarship for research scholars will see a significant increase. The current stipend of Rs 16,000 will be raised to Rs 25,000 per month.
To foster a culture of modern technology and entrepreneurship, the state government is rolling out several high-tech initiatives:
- AI and Computing Labs: State-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence and advanced computing laboratories will be established within government colleges.
- Idea Fund: A dedicated Rs 5-crore Idea Fund will be created at the state level to provide financial support for innovative startup ideas among the youth.
- Innovation Challenge: The registration for the 'Madhya Pradesh-Seva First-Innovation Challenge' under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan-2026 has also been officially launched.
MPPSC to be Held Twice a Year
In a strategic move to increase the frequency of recruitment opportunities, Chief Minister Yadav announced that the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) examinations will now be conducted twice a year. This change is designed to ensure that more candidates have the chance to enter government service more regularly.
"Madhya Pradesh is a youth state, and our government is continuously working to provide better employment opportunities to the youth," the Chief Minister stated, noting that recruitment for various government posts is actively being carried out.
Road to 'Youth Year 2027'
The Chief Minister revealed that the state is gearing up to celebrate 2027 as 'Youth Year'. The Youth Conclave was organized as a platform to gather direct suggestions from the younger generation to shape the policies for this upcoming year.
According to the Chief Minister, the vision for 'Youth Year 2027' is to focus on employment-oriented courses that drive self-reliance. By integrating technological advancement with academic support, the government aims to enable the youth to contribute more effectively to the development of both Madhya Pradesh and the nation.
