After the successful implementation and positive response from Kashmiri youth to its engineering ‘super 40’ scheme, the Indian Army has now begun a similar initiative for medical aspirants. The ‘Kashmir Super 30’ initiative for medical aspirants was inaugurated on June 12.

Last year, 28 students from Jammu and Kashmir belonging to economically weaker sections had made the cut to prestigious institutions like IITs and NITs with the help of the Army’s ‘Kashmir Super 40’ initiative for engineering. The students enrolled under the ‘Kashmir Super 40’ initiative are trained under the aegis of the Centre for Social Responsibility and Leadership (CSRL) and Petronet LNG Limited (PLL).
Of the 40 students who enrolled for the project in 2017, thirty-five boys were given coaching in Srinagar while five girls received training in Delhi. Of them, twenty-six boys and two girls qualified the IIT–JEE mains exam while nine made it to the IITs.
The project, named after Bihar teacher Anand Kumar’s ‘Super 30’, aims to support talented, underprivileged students of Kashmir to achieve educational success by providing entrance exam coaching.The force has recently signed a MoU with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) & National Integrity Educational Development Organisation (NIEDO) in this regard.
