Under the ongoing centrally sponsored scheme, the 100% financial assistance for in-house preexam coaching for engineering, medical and civil services is provided. In-house coaching has not been
agreed upon by the Planning Department, instead suggested to outsource. The Working Group
constituted for preparing 11th Five Year Plan also recommended that pre exam coaching for
engineering, medical and civil services may be provided to the students belonging to
SC/ST/OBC/Minorities by sponsoring the students to the institutions of both public and private which
have achieved distinction during the preceding three years, in terms of success rate of candidates
coached by them.
As per recommendations of the Working Group the plan scheme pre-exam coaching for ST
students has been proposed to be extended to SC/OBC and minority students w.e.f. 11th Five Year Plan
under State Plan. Pre-examination coaching at PECC, Karol Bagh for Group B Courses will continue
under the centrally sponsored scheme.
OBJECTIVE:
Present age is the age of competition and only the fittest can survive. With the spread of
education amongst the younger generation of SCs/STs/OBCs/Minorities there is stiff
competition amongst the candidates of these communities themselves. It has been observed that
students for the rich families of STs tend to secure most of the jobs as they have better schooling and
training/coaching for the competitive examinations whereas the students from the poor families rarely
get selected because during school/college education their standard of education remain low due to
poverty and there after due to non-affordability of proper coaching facilities. To provide pre-exam
coaching to the students of these communities a scheme Pre Exam coaching for SC/ST was launched
under Annual Plan 1996-97. Under the scheme, pre-exam coaching for engineering and medical courses
was given to the SC/ST communities. Subsequently, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment ,
Govt. of India also launched in 2001, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme Coaching and Allied Assistance for
weaker sections including SCs/OBCs/Min. for providing coaching for engineering, medical & IAS etc. In
the Centrally Sponsored Scheme, it has been suggested that students may be got coached from
institutions of repute both public and private which are running coaching courses and have achieved
distinctions during the preceding three years, in terms of success rate of candidates coached by them.
Since, STs were not covered under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme the state plan scheme was
amended during 2002 and it was decided that only ST students will be benefited under the scheme.
Subsequently, the scope of the State Plan scheme was widened by including coaching for All India
Services Examinations & Other Services also.

Plan and Rs. 5.00 lakhs for Annual Plan 2009-10):-:
Amount of Assistance / Terms & Conditions
This is an ongoing scheme. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was one of the most prominent
personalities of India, who actively participated in the struggle for freedom and made an
indelible impact on the minds of people of the country particularly the Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes, who constitute more than 25% of the total population. They revere him
as their messiah. It was because of his untiring efforts that special provisions were
incorporated in the Constitution of India to secure justice, liberty and fraternity for down
trodden people of the country, who had suffered for centuries and due to such provisions,
today they are living with dignity. It was he, who along with some other leaders of his time,
strived to get the untouchability removed from the country. The Constitution of India prepared
by him is a living monument in his memory.
With the passage of time, the people are forgetting his ideals of service to the down trodden
people. It is quite essential to inculcate such ideals in the new generation of the nation as
a whole and SC/ST in particular so that the country moves in the direction as envisaged in
the preamble of the Constitution framed by Dr. Ambedkar. This can be best done if his
ideals are kept alive. For doing this, it is proposed to institute an award in his memory
which will be known as "Dr. Ambedkar Ratan Award". The award will include an amount of
Rs.1.00 lakh, a citation and a shawl. The award will be given to an eminent personality or
institution, which has done pioneering work in the socio-economic development of the
Scheduled Caste in Delhi. A committee of eminent persons has been constituted to decide
the name of the person or institution(s) to whom this award will be given. The award will be
presented by a prominent personality in a function to be organized in a befitting manner.
Note: - The interested person(s)/organization(s) are required to submit the application on the
plane paper along with supportive documents which should be recommended by Union
Minister/MPs/MLAs/Recipients of Dr. Ambedkar National Award/Vice Chancellor of University
functioning in Delhi or social organizations and Non-Government organization of repute.
