The army has been working with a non-profit in Manipur's Bishnupur to help 50 students crack the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET). The ethnic violence in Manipur earlier this month has affected many students, especially those preparing for key national examinations. The NEET for centres in Manipur was also postponed due to the violence between the Meiteis and the Kukis.
In a statement, the army said all the students who are under their care have been continuing their preparation for the NEET 2023 at Bishnupur, 30 km from state capital Imphal.
"Indian Army in collaboration with the National Integrity and Educational Development Organisation (NIEDO), a Kanpur-based educational trust, runs a boarding and coaching facility for 50 students," the army said in the statement.
"Despite the ongoing crisis, all these students are continuing their preparation for NEET 2023 at Bishnupur. A focused endeavour has been put in by providing regular counselling, quality time, safe environment and essential amenities to aspirants and disengaging them from stress and trauma," it said.
