Madhya Pradesh CM Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that education is the axis of the overall development of man and 'education for all' is the development mantra of the state government. He said that our government has made every effort to bring the light of education to every child of the state. By giving laptops to talented students, we are going to build a better and golden future of the state.
CM Mohan Yadav was addressing the state level function of laptop incentive amount transfer at Kushabhau Thackeray Convention Center in Bhopal on Friday. In the program, CM Mohan Yadav transferred an amount of more than Rs 235 crore to 94,234 meritorious students of the state who scored 75 percent or more marks in class 12th in the academic session 2024-25 to purchase laptops.
Under the scheme, Rs 25,000 each was transferred to their bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) with a single click to buy laptops. CM announced to give more quality updated laptops worth Rs 25 thousand instead of incentive money to talented students from next year. The CM also distributed laptops to 15 meritorious students from the stage. The Chief Minister himself took a selfie and encouraged all the children.
CM Mohan Yadav said that now our students will be able to study better by being equipped with modern technology. Laptop is not just a tool, but it is a powerful medium to prepare for a golden future. With new methods, new skills and new thinking, our children will now be able to move further ahead in the race of competition. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the government has also provided copy-books, uniforms, bicycles and scooties to the students and now we are also giving laptops. This step will prove to be very helpful in connecting the students with digital and modern education.
Govt is also supporting brilliant students in higher education
CM said that the government is also providing full support to talented students in higher education after school. The entire fee of medical and engineering studies of brilliant students is being paid by the government. If a student passes the NEET entrance examination, then his medical education becomes free. The state government is paying about 80 lakh rupees fee for the entire course. He said that the government has taken several decisions to strengthen medical education in the state. The CM appealed that the children of the state should study well, move forward but love their home state and have the passion to serve their people. Motherland should always be remembered.
