05 January 2024 | The Wire
New Delhi: The Union education ministry on Thursday (January 4) launched a portal with details of the programme under which students from across the country will visit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s school in Gujarat’s Vadnagar.
Students from class 9-12 will be required to register on the portal to participate in the programme named “Prerana”. Applicants will then go through a three-stage selection process which will involve activities like recording a short video, writing essays/poems/stories and other forms of creative expression on topics like “Why should I be selected for Prerana” or “My Vision of India @ 2047”, the Hindustan Times reported.
Two students from each district will be selected in batches of 20 – 10 girls and 10 boys – to participate in the programme which will last for at least a year according to the ministry. In June 2022, the government announced its plan to launch Prerana to inspire the youth to become “catalysts of change”.
