The Indore District Administration has launched 'Project 100 Kalam'. It is a crash course that will prepare the underprivileged students for cracking JEE and NEET free of cost. The applications are invited till 16th August 2019.

Project 100 Kalam introduced

The Bollywood film ‘Super 30’, that was starred by Hritik Roshan and was based on the story of Anand Kumar, has cast a spell over the entire country ever since its release. The movie helped in spreading the noble cause that was initiated by Anand Kumar when he started teaching students for cracking IIT-JEE free of cost. It was an inspiration to many.

The Indore District Administration has also taken inspiration from the movie and story of ‘Super 30’ and has launched its own ‘Project 100 Kalam’. This project will select a total of 100 students through entrance tests and provide them with a year-long crash course for cracking the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). The selected students will not be charged for the course and will also be offered food and boarding.

Lokesh Kumar Jatav, the collector, said that Project 100 Kalam has been initiated in Indore and it is an attempt to provide aid to students who have talent but lack guidance and required sources. The project will help these students in pursuing their dreams and cracking the national level competitive exams of NEET and JEE.
