‘’This scheme has been conceptualized to provide the much-needed support to those deserving and meritorious students. This will go a long way for the talented youth of the northeastern region to compete at the national level. We did feel the need to come up with such a scholarship program which will alow more talented youth to have the opportunity to get training like this." said Sankar Ray, Director of Northeast-IAS while addressing the press conference.
He further underlined the importance of quality guidance and mentoring as the only tool to transform the youth of Northeast India. He stated that the institute will provide intensive training and mentoring includes more than 900 hours of classroom coaching by nationally acclaimed faculty from Delhi and IAS toppers.
Apart from classroom coaching, the hand-holding support to students, library facilities, researched study material and regular current affairs magazine, practice sessions, personality development program and guidance based on changing patter of the examination will also be provided to aspirants.
“It is encouraging to see the growing numbers of successful candidates in UPSC from the Northeast region, but it is a sorry figure while comparing with success of other states. The youth of Northeast are equally capable to compete the top most examination and get top ranks in UPSC Civil Services Examination, provided they are guided in a result oriented and efficient manner.
I have observed our candidates face difficulties while going to Delhi for this kind of preparation. In many ways, coping with the environment, managing self-finances, high coaching fee, become major challenges.
In this backdrop, we started Super 100 initiative to support the candidates for transforming Assam & North East for introducing leadership development among our youth. “, Ray added.
