Initiative Background
The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to have young IAS, IPS and IFS officers visit at least one intermediate-level school every month and interact with students on career choices, competitive examinations and other issues concerning their future. This initiative is aimed at providing students with practical guidance on higher and technical education, employment, entrepreneurship and start-ups, besides helping them develop confidence and a positive outlook through direct interaction with senior government officers.
Key Features
The initiative will focus on participatory discussions and question-answer sessions rather than formal speeches. Students will be encouraged to ask officers about career planning, goal-setting, effective study methods, time management and self-discipline, as well as their experiences and challenges in life and public service. Students will also receive guidance on the preparation for examinations, including the UPSC, UPPSC, UPSSSC, NDA, JEE, NEET and CUET, as well as other state-level competitive examinations. Information on higher, technical and vocational education, employment, entrepreneurship and start-up opportunities will also be provided.

Direct interaction with young administrators will give students practical exposure to career opportunities and competitive examinations while allowing them to learn from the officers' experiences and challenges. The initiative is also expected to help students develop confidence and a positive outlook through direct interaction with senior government officers.
