Free coaching centres for Muslim candidates

Minister for Local Self-Governance Paloli Mohammed Kutty has said that the Government will open five coaching centres in the State for Muslim candidates attending competitive examinations.

The Minister told a news conference here on Thursday that the coaching centres were being opened on the basis of the recommendations of the Paloli Committee, set up in 2007, in view of the Justice Rajinder Sachar Commission’s findings on the socio-economic status of the Muslim community.

The coaching centres will be opened at Payyannur, Kozhikode, Ponnani, Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram and the courses will be offered free of cost, the Minister said.

The first of the five centres will be opened at Puthiyara in Kozhikode on March 20. Four batches having a seating capacity of 50 each will be arranged at the centres. Library, other facilities and office will also be arranged. If more students turn up, classes will be held on shift basis, he said.

The teachers required for the centres will be sourced from nearby colleges and University Departments. They will be given special remuneration. The first course to be conducted at the Kozhikode centre will be for the LDC examination scheduled for 2010. Registration for this has started. Other centres will be opened in April and May, he said.
