Education is the most important element for the growth and prosperity of a nation. With this view in mind, Gyan Sewa launches Rural Talent Project (RTP) to uplift the quality and level of education of students residing in villages and rural areas of Punjab. One of the first projects, which is being commenced this year is setting up of coaching Centers in villages to prepare students for competing in the entrance examination for Professional courses, such as Medicine, Engineering, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Architecture, etc.

In most of these entrance examinations, competition being very tough, even small difference of one mark makes substantial difference in ranking. In big cities, there has been proliferation of plenty of coaching centers, which train students exclusively for these examinations. But, students from villages, who do not have access these coaching classes lag behind.

Even through rural students may be more intelligent, but due to lack of access to proper resources, they are the ultimate sufferers. The students residing in village do not get an opportunity to study professional courses, which enjoy a status in society.

These students then choose ordinary collage courses like B.A., B.Sc., etc and there are hardly any jobs after graduation or even post graduation. This generates lot of frustration amongst the rural youth.

Gyan Sewa plans to take to take the best education from Delhi directly to villages in Punjab. The idea is to identify talent amongst rural youth and promote them to excel in life. With this object, a Resource Centre is being set up in Delhi to provide the course material and for training teachers of the coaching centers in villages in Punjab .
