Govt planning 40 more knowledge centres: Min
After interacting with the aspirants preparing for competitive examinations, the minister said the govt is planning to expand smart knowledge and study centres to 40 more locations across the state.
The minister along with mayor Mu Anbalagan and commissioner V Saravanan enquired about the facilities such as study space and toilets available for aspirants preparing for TNPSC and UPSC examinations. As the centre provides free wifi for students to access online study materials, the minister asked them whether the internet was good enough to download e-books.
Officials told the minister that four aspirants including a youth from a village in Madurai district have cleared TNPSC group IV examination and secured govt jobs with the help of two knowledge and study centres.
"During the discussion, students said the facilities are sufficient. Some of them requested to conduct free coaching classes by the district employment exchange at the centres to clear TNPSC exams. The demand will be explored," an official said. The corporation has been maintaining two knowledge centres built under smart cities mission at Rs5 crore each in Cantonment and Palakkarai.
