Specialist coaching through
satellite
A WSN Special
 NEW DELHI/LUDHIANA:
Poverty
shall no longer be a hindrance to aspiring engineering and medical
Punjab
students who will participate in free expert coaching sessions of
the Delhi based Gyan Sewa Trust and the Punjab EDUSAT Society as they
would partake state of the art training through satellite at more
than 80 centres all across Punjab.
Specialist and
expert teachers are providing training for major entrance
examinations like AIEEE, CET, PMT and IIT, in special classrooms,
equipped with the latest technology, set up at various government
schools across the state.
Apart from
giving publicity to the course, the schedule for the course has been
given to the students who would be able to solve their problems
through videoconferencing. With backing from local teachers,
talented students are likely to be fully equipped to be on par with
the training modules of specialist institutes in
Delhi,
Kota and Mumbai.
All interactive
training sessions are beamed live from Mohali. The six-week crash
coaching course is a boon for students who cannot afford the
expensive education at private coaching centres.
 The Trust has
engaged experienced teaching faculty from Delhi to impart lessons
free of cost at the chosen centres in
Punjab.
According to the chairperson of the trust, Harvinder Singh Phoolka,
the six-week crash course is being conducted at 82 centres in
Punjab.
Six months back,
while talking about the next phase of his struggle for justice,
activist advocate, H. S. Phoolka, had told WSN, that the next stage
is education. Living upto his commitment, Mr. Phoolka told the WSN
that the Gyan Sewa Trust is running two centres in
Punjab
at village Khadoor Sahib and Nawa Shahr and the teaching faculty
from
Delhi
visits there to provide coaching to the resource-poor students. The
Trust strives to provide rural students the educational resources
which are available in the metropolitans and that too at their
door-step, Mr Phoolka said.
Concerned about
the declining standards of education in Punjab,eminent Punjabis in
the national capital founded the Trust with writer Patwant Singh,
former UPSC chairman J S Chhatwal and Mr H S Phoolka. Dr Maninder
Kaur Phoolka is the Project Director.
Mr Krishan
Kumar, an IAS officer, Director General School Education, who also
heads the Punjab Edusat Society said the students of rural areas and
small towns were deprived of education facilities available to their
counterparts in the big cities and with this one step that gap would
be filled in.
