What this scheme offers
Launched in February 2021 after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath saw thousands of UP students stranded in coaching hubs like Kota and Prayagraj during COVID-19 lockdowns, Abhyudaya set out to bring that same quality of coaching home — free, at the divisional and then district level. It covers preparation for UPSC Civil Services, State PCS, NEET, JEE (Mains and Advanced), NDA, CDS and other competitive exams, through a mix of in-person classes and online/YouTube-streamed sessions so students in far-flung districts aren't left out. The scheme has a genuine track record: candidates who went through Abhyudaya coaching have gone on to clear UPSC's Civil Services exam in multiple subsequent years.
