‘Kashmir Super 30’ is an initiative of Indian Army with training partner “Centre for Social Responsibility and Leadership” (CSRL) & Petronet LNG Limited (PLL). The project aims to support the talented underprivileged students from economically weaker sections to achieve educational success by providing engineering entrance exam coaching. Out of 40 students enrolled under the project, 35 boys were given coaching at Srinagar and 5 girls at Delhi/NCR. In the result declared of IIT-JEE this year, 26 boys and 2 girls cracked the IIT –JEE mains exam. Further out of 28 students, 9 students made it to the prestigious IITs.
Addressing the students, Dr Jitendra Singh said, we have one of the best talents and calibre in Kashmir. He said, the youth and students of Kashmir are globally connected and well informed. They are no longer going to be bluffed by the hypocrisy of socalled Kashmir protagonists who ensure safe, secure future for their own children and incite poor man’s children to become stone-pelters, he said.
He also appreciated Indian Army for its contribution. He said that we are indebted to Indian Army which serves the nation not only in the times of disturbance, but also in the times of peace.
