Speaking to the media, Bhatti said the state government would start free training for competitive exams with expert lecturers through Ambedkar Knowledge Centre in 119 constituencies in the state in the next 15 days. The centers would help the youth prepare for competitive job tests and would help them as they will not have to spend lot of money by going to cities like Hyderabad for coaching classes. He said an International English Medium School would also be set up in every mandal to impart quality education to the students. He further said the government has decided to give interest free loans to DWCRA groups.
