The Uttar Pradesh government plans to send young IAS, IPS and IFS officers to schools every month to guide intermediate students on careers and competitive exams. Officers will share experiences of preparation, failures and success while discussing UPSC, UPPSC, JEE, NEET and other opportunities. District magistrates will monitor the programme's implementation.

Lucknow: For thousands of students sitting in classrooms across Uttar Pradesh, the person walking in one day may not be a teacher, but an IAS, IPS or IFS officer carrying years of experience, failures, struggles and lessons from a journey that eventually led to one of the country's most coveted careers.

The Yogi Adityanath government is now planning to bring such experiences directly to intermediate-level students. Under a new initiative, young officers of the Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service posted in districts will visit at least one school every month and interact with students about careers, competitive examinations, higher education and life beyond school.
