Mumbai: In an important step towards giving the Indian
civil services an inclusive look, a Mumbai based NGO and top experts of the
filed are running a campaign to select talented students from the marginalized
sections of the country so as to train them free of cost for the coveted exams.
"Aishabai & Haji Abdul Latif Charitable Trust, a renowned NGO
based in Mumbai, has joined hands with the country's top UPSC and MPSC coaching
classes to select and train talented students free of cost for one year",
Farooque Naikwade, the main architect of the campaign said while talking to
ummid.com.
Naikwade - author of the books 'Steelframe' and 'IASMantra', is
responsible for bringing hundreds of students from rural area and lower
socio-economic strata including minorities into the administration.
"Under the campaign, Steelframe Talent Search Abhiyan, the trust in
association with Synergy Study Point of Pune, Discovery IAS of New Delhi and
Liven Information technologies Pvt. Ltd. is conducting examination at 14 centres
across India to select 100 students to be trained 50 each for UPSC and MPSC
exams", he added.
The exams to be held on September 30, 2012 will select talented
students based on written tests comprising of three sections. Out of them a
total of 100 students - 50 for UPSC and 50 for MPSC, will then be selected after
personal interviews.
Though the test is open to all, there is a 50 per cent reservation
for the students from the minority community.
It is said that there is a gap in Indian policy due to the
inadequate representation of people from rural areas and from the minority
communities specially the Muslims in the Indian Civil Services.
It is expected that the campaign running side by side with other
NGOs of the country will help boost the tally of marginalised sections of the
country in the Indian civil services.
