But this cannot be done without proper coaching. With the implementation of the Rajasthan Dishari Yojana, the state wants to provide the interested candidates with special coaching for cracking competitive exams.
Launch details of the scheme

It was on the celebration of Teacher’s Day, 2017 that the scheme was announced officially.
