RAJOURI, Mar 10: Deputy Commissioner Rajouri Abhishek Sharma today inaugurated free coaching classes for girl students of Kotranka and Aspirational Block Khawas under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) initiative.
The inaugural function was held at Government Higher Secondary School Kotranka, even as the classes would be held at 14 coaching centres established across the twin blocks.
It was informed that 450 girl students have been enrolled for the free coaching programme. The coaching will be conducted in two shifts, with the morning session from 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM and the evening session from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
The initiative has been taken by the Social Welfare Department on the directions of the Deputy Commissioner to address the issue of low transition rate of girls from Secondary to Higher Secondary level, poor board examination results, high dropout rate girls, limited access to preparation for competitive examinations and the presence of first-generation learners with weak academic foundations.

"Such initiatives will help bridge existing educational gaps and empower girls to achieve their full potential," he emphasized.
