Guidance centre by CIMP inspires rural, backward students to crack CAT

Patna: The new batch of Students Guidance Centre (SGC) which had opened new vistas of higher education for the deprived and the backward students of Bihar through highly competitive training under the Chandragupt Institute of Management, Patna (CIMP) in the last few years, has attracted more students from rural and far-flung areas this time.

 

The new batch, that reflected the rising aspirations of rural Bihar and packed more socially backward students from the remote areas, was formally inaugurated by Shri SM Raju, IAS, Secretary, SC/ST Welfare Department, Govt. of Bihar in the presence of the Director and the Deputy Director of Welfare Department here at the campus yesterday.

SGC, a path-breaking social initiative and a dream project by Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Nitish Kumar, was launched by the CIMP to equip the students from the SC/ST/OBC categories for admissions in Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other prestigious B-schools like XLRI, XAT and Institute for Rural Management Anand (IRMA), apart from training them for competitive examinations like banking service, railway recruitment and SSC. It is the only such centre of the kind to give free training to the backward students.

The new batch of 100 students has 80% from the Maha Dalits and out of them 25 % are girls. In the first two batches, SGC had students from Patna and vicinity like Muzaffarpur, Nalanda, Gaya, Vaishali etc. However, the present batch has students even from the very remote and far-flung areas in the districts like Kishangunj, Madhubani, Bhabua, Supaul and West Champaran.

"SGC through its continuous contributions has been impacting a social change in Bihar by ensuring inclusive development. By opening up greater opportunities of growth for the socially backward communities, SGC is also instrumental in reducing the social inequality in the State," CIMP Director Dr V Mukunda Das said on the occasion.
