The South Dinajpur district administration has launched a free guidance center in Balurghat to support students preparing for competitive examinations, offering access to study materials, a reading room and volunteer-led classes.The initiative, named “Lakshya,” was inaugurated on Wednesday at the Main District Library in Balurghat. District Magistrate Bala Subrahmanyan T., Balurghat MLA Bidyut Kumar Roy, administrative officials and students attended the inaugural programme.
The center will provide students with a reading room, essential textbooks, reference books and magazines, along with free academic guidance for competitive examinations.Officials said the initiative was designed to address some of the difficulties faced by students who cannot afford to purchase the necessary books or pay for private coaching outside the district. The administration also cited a lack of proper guidance as a challenge for many aspirants.
Under the programme, teachers who have cleared the West Bengal Civil Service examination, along with officials from the district administration, will voluntarily conduct classes for students. Classes are planned twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.Bala Subrahmanyan T said the administration wanted to create an opportunity for students who lacked access to expensive study materials and coaching facilities. The center is intended to provide both resources and direction to aspirants preparing for various competitive examinations.
Mr.Bidyut Kumar Roy said the initiative was aimed at ensuring that talented students in the district could receive proper guidance without having to bear the cost of private coaching. If the programme proves successful, the administration plans to consider expanding the initiative to other parts of the district.The launch of “Lakshya” comes as district authorities seek to make competitive-examination preparation more accessible to students, particularly those for whom the cost of books and coaching can be a significant barrier.
