TFP Bureau, Raipur, July 19,2026: In a remarkable achievement for education in Chhattisgarh’s tribal heartland, 32 students from Sukma district have qualified the NEET-UG 2026 examination after receiving free coaching at the district administration’s ‘Kshitij’ JEE-NEET Coaching Centre. Of them, 13 are expected to secure admission to MBBS courses in government medical colleges, marking a significant milestone for the district.
The success story highlights the growing educational aspirations of students from remote tribal and rural areas, many of whom overcame financial and geographical challenges to compete in one of the country’s toughest medical entrance examinations.
The Kshitij Coaching Centre, established and run by the district administration, has emerged as a lifeline for aspiring medical and engineering students by providing free, high-quality coaching, expert guidance and regular test preparation. Officials said the initiative has enabled talented students from underprivileged backgrounds to pursue their dreams without the burden of expensive private coaching.
Forest Minister and Sukma district in-charge Kedar Kashyap congratulated the successful candidates and wished them a bright future, describing their achievement as a proud moment for the district and the state.
The district administration attributed the success to sustained efforts to strengthen educational opportunities in the region. Under the leadership of Collector Amit Kumar and the guidance of District Panchayat CEO Mukund Thakur and District Education Officer G.R. Mandavi, students were systematically prepared for national-level competitive examinations.
Faculty members from Camp Academy, including Suraj Singh, Sonam Singh, Nidhi Chauhan and Rajnish Patel, played a key role by providing subject-specific coaching, regular assessments and strategic guidance for the examination.
The outstanding performance has inspired a new wave of confidence among students across Sukma, encouraging many more to aspire for careers in medicine and other professional fields. Officials said the achievement demonstrates that talent is not limited by geography or economic circumstances and that with proper guidance, quality education and sustained support, students from remote villages can compete successfully at the national level.
Congratulating the students, their parents and teachers, the district administration said the success of the Kshitij Coaching Centre reflects the positive transformation taking place in Sukma’s education sector. Once known primarily for its developmental challenges, the district is now emerging as a centre of academic excellence, with increasing numbers of young students pursuing higher education and professional careers.
Officials described the achievement as a symbol of the rising confidence and aspirations of Sukma’s youth, signalling a promising future for the district through the power of education.
