A group of top academics, including retired IAS and IPS officers, in a new initiative in Kerala have launched a new program called ‘One School One IAS’ with the aim to demolish the common taboo that civil services exams are only meant for the elite class.
Kerala Governor, Arif Mohammad Khan, recently detailed the scheme that falls under the Vedhik Erudite Foundations Scholarship Programme.
As per the reports, under the scheme, IAS and IPS officers from Kerala, and maybe other states, will host classes for economically weaker candidates who wish to prepare for civil services and other competitive exams.
