New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will inaugurate the Mukhyamantri Abhyudaya Yojana, a free coaching program meant for students preparing for competitive exams, on Monday.
The program will be held at 10 am at the Chief Minister’s residence at 5 Kalidas Marg. On the occasion, Adityanath will interact with students who have registered to take classes under the scheme.
