Deputy Superintendent of Police Vikas Chandra Srivastava launched an online channel on YouTube, DSP Ki Paathshala, to teach, motivate, and guide the aspirants to crack Indian Government exams. Investing in classes can be expensive and many of the aspirants who have been attending Vikas’s online classes do not have the means to pay for it.
He started the initiative to give quality education to poor students who want to crack the civil services examination but can’t afford coaching classes. With this, students from the remotest of locations can attend it. “My objective is to remove exam phobia from minds of the children and encourage them to learn not only to fetch good marks but also for overall development. They must do their work honestly, as being a good citizen is the prime objective of getting education,” says the DSP. “DSP ki Paathshala was launched on July 11 and I am taking classes on four days a week for one hour each, both for UPSC and Jharkhand civil services exams. There are eight WhatsApp groups, which are used to make important announcements,” informed Srivastava.
The cop also said that he embarked on this teaching mission with the desire to share whatever he had learned in life with “the future of this country” so that they could benefit from it. “Policemen usually have a very busy schedule, but one has to take time out to do one’s bit to change society and make the world a better place,” he concludes.
