Haryana’s engineers are set to guide the state’s board candidates, aiding talented students from 9th to 12th grade in government schools to shape their academic and career paths. The state’s electricity corporations have outlined their plan, with engineers allocating time from their schedules to support the most promising students. They will identify and mentor the top three students in each school, offering guidance tailored to their aspirations and capabilities. This commitment will extend over four years, accompanying and assisting the students until they successfully complete their 12th-grade examinations.
Commencing in the upcoming year, the initiative spearheaded by PK Das, Chairman of Haryana Electricity Corporation, alongside senior officials, aims to support bright students attending government schools in Haryana. Many of these aspiring doctors and engineers face resource constraints. To aid these students, particularly those in 9th to 12th grade, engineers at the SDO level, overseeing the state’s powerhouses, will offer assistance in subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English, and more. Moreover, they will guide students in preparing for crucial exams like NEET, JEE, and JEE Advanced.
Electricity corporations, which have so far opened two dozen libraries in villages within the state with CSR funds, are preparing to implement this proposed scheme in the new year. Notably, directives have been issued in this regard. Across the state, approximately 442 sub-stations operate, each with an SDO responsible for overseeing four to five of these stations.
Although, SDO level officers are also employed in the state headquarters power companies, but the engineers working in the field are also more than three hundred. Among these, whoever wants to voluntarily help the top 10 students of government schools, their services will be taken in this social initiative.
Power Utility Chairman and former IAS officer PK Das confirmed this and said that we will help the poor children studying in rural and government schools to move ahead, but the students who are bright and willing to move ahead in schools will be included in the first phase. Steps will be taken so that the difficulties and subject related problems faced in fulfilling their dreams can be resolved.Das said that we have promising engineers in the power sector and are educated in these subjects, who will work to help others.
