Meghalaya government on Tuesday launched a scheme under which candidates who clear the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination will receive assistance of Rs 50,000, while those who clear the mains exam will be rewarded with Rs 1 lakh. The scheme has been named 'CM-INSPIRE'.
Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said the scheme aims to address the declining presence of the state's youth in the civil services and provide them with the required support to succeed.
"My dear young aspirants of Meghalaya, today marks an important step in supporting the dreams of our youth. For many years, our representation in the civil services has declined. Today, we take a decisive step to change that with the launch of CM-INSPIRE," he said.
Sangma said this initiative is designed to reduce the financial burden faced by aspirants and ensure that economic constraints do not hold back deserving candidates.
"The government stands firmly with you on this journey. Believe in yourselves and stay committed to your goals," he said.
Eligible candidates will be able to apply for the assistance through the Meghalaya Administrative Training Institute (MATI) portal, officials said.
UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) is a premier national-level competitive exam in India conducted annually by the Union Public Service Commission to recruit for Group A and B services (e.g., IAS, IPS, IFS). It comprises three stages—Prelims (objective), Mains (descriptive), and a Personality Test (Interview).
