Media Release
Mangaluru, Dec 26: Centre for Advanced Learning (CFAL), renowned for its commitment to educational excellence, proudly announces the continuation of its transformative Pragathi Programme into its second year. This ambitious initiative, designed to support bright students from financially weaker backgrounds, has been successfully conducted across all government and aided PU colleges in Dakshina Kannada, with the commendable approval & support of Dr Anandh K, IAS, CEO of zilla panchayat, Dakshina Kannada (DK).
In its first year, the Pragathi Programme marked a tremendous achievement by being recognized in the chief minister's book ‘Best Governance Practice’ for the year 2022. Building on this success, CFAL has again embarked on this noble journey, offering 40 deserving students a unique opportunity to receive free, comprehensive coaching for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) or the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
The process of selection is as follows: A circular was sent by Dr Anandh K - CEO of zilla panchayat, DK & the Jayanna - DDPU of DK to all the government and aided PU colleges of Mangaluru regarding the Pragathi Programme. An entrance exam was conducted for students of 1st PUC in government PU colleges and aided PU Colleges of Mangaluru. The entrance exam was based on 10th std maths and science curriculum. Around 100 students were shortlisted and given a 2nd assignment of writing a statement of purpose along with capturing & verifying all the other economic details of the students’ family. Based on this SOP, 40 students were selected for Pragathi Programme 2023.
The heart of the Pragati Programme lies in its mission: to bridge the gap in educational opportunities. By providing free education and study materials, CFAL ensures that financial constraints do not hinder talented students from achieving their dreams. This year, the selected candidates began their transformative journey in September 2023, embarking on a two-year journey of learning and growth.
At the helm of this program is Vijay Moras, the dedicated program coordinator. His vision and guidance have been instrumental in shaping the Pragathi Programme. "Our goal is not just to educate but to empower. We believe in nurturing the dreams of these young minds and providing them with the tools to excel," shares Moras.
CFAL's commitment to this cause is clearly demonstrated by its substantial investment in the Pragathi Programme, which will support 40 students over a two-year period. This significant financial contribution highlights CFAL's steadfast dedication to promoting educational equality. As the programme advances, CFAL eagerly anticipates observing the progress and accomplishments of these students as they embark on their journey towards academic success and a more promising future.
