Delhi Police has begun a coaching centre for students from economically weaker sections, particularly Muslims, to help them prepare for competitive examinations.
The centre housed in the Jamia Nagar police station will provide free tutoring for competitive exams to students who cannot afford the high fees demanded by coaching centres. It is to start in May this year.
"The motive behind opening of a coaching centre for the aspirants, especially Muslims, is to encourage them for competitive examinations," Ajay Chaudhry, Additional Commissioner of Police, told IANS.
"We are trying to change their assumption that they cannot get government jobs," he added.
The police station already has a library-cum-counselling centre for the aspirants which has been operational since Feb 22 and sees around 25-30 students every day.
"We have been running a free-of-cost library in the premises in coordination with an NGO, Shikhar, which has been working for more than 12 years to provide better education, especially to the girls from weak minority sections," said Chaudhry.
