In Angul, Odisha, disadvantaged youth lack access to quality coaching for competitive exams, limiting their opportunities for government and professional careers.

Jindal Foundation, in collaboration with IAS Gurukul, launched Project UTKARSH to provide free online, interactive, pre-recruitment coaching. This initiative equips underprivileged, backward, and differently abled youth with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to excel in competitive exams. The programme includes:

• Guidance on exam patterns and preparation strategies.
• Personalised coaching to enhance time management and understanding.
• Structured online classes tailored to meet the needs of diverse aspirants.
• The initiative fosters equal opportunities by addressing skill gaps and building a supportive learning ecosystem.
