Govt’s free coaching move gains educator backing as PW’s Alakh Pandey says 'appreciate PM Modi's promise'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Independence Day, announcing that the government will provide free online coaching for students preparing for competitive exams. Physics Wallah (PW) founder Alakh Pandey expressed his appreciation for the Prime Minister's promise and offered his unconditional support to the initiative.

Pandey emphasized that online education is the only way to bring quality education to remote areas. He wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that he wants to see the free online coaching program implemented on the ground, as the execution is crucial. The PM highlighted that the competition for coaching classes has become a burden for middle-class families, as parents feel the need to send their children to coaching institutes to maintain a sense of prestige.

By offering free online coaching, the government aims to save thousands of crores of rupees spent by poor and middle-class families on coaching classes.
