Opening of the Civil Services Training Center in Harihar

Sir Niranjananda Puri Swamy, the pontiff of Kaginele Kanaka Gurupeetha, has long had the desire to establish a facility where students aspiring to the civil service, particularly those from rural areas, may receive training.

The long-held desire of Kaginele Kanaka Gurupeetha pontiff Sir Niranjananda Puri Swamy will finally be realised on Sunday with the opening of the Chandragupta Maurya Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) / Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) Training Centre in Belludi in Harihar taluk, Davangree. To help young people pass the civil services examination, the seer had always envisioned operating a training facility.

Aspirants can study from specialists throughout the nation in the centre’s well-furnished digital coaching rooms, which are up to date with the times. A fully equipped library and hostels are also available at the centre at this time. The Gurupeetha would receive support from Bengaluru-based Insights IAS in teaching the candidates. “Regardless of caste or creed, we shall offer boarding and accommodation to aspirants who enrol in our centre at a very affordable price. Talented pupils from rural areas are our primary emphasis because we want to develop them into accountable administrative officers “the pontiff declared.

Head of insight IAS Vinay Kumar noted that young females in rural areas who were interested in a future in the civil service frequently had to give up their goals because their parents were reluctant to bring them to large cities like Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. “However, for such girls, the centre in Harihar would be a desirable choice. At the training facility in Harihar, the hostel can house up to 50 girls “added Kumar.

“This centre will allow them to strive higher, to become IAS or KPS officials,” Kumar added, referring to the need to increase awareness among young people in rural areas, the majority of whom were frequently satisfied to appear for the first division assistant or second division assistant exams.

Within the next several years, Kumar is certain that the Center will become a focal point for candidates for the civil service. We approached this with the mindset of an experiment, and we are optimistic about the centre’s success, he said.

It’s interesting to note that Avinash V, the state’s top student and national exam scorer for the UPSC this year, hails from Davanagere. “Candidates who do not come from wealthy backgrounds will find this centre to be quite helpful. I joined insights IAS in Bengaluru since Davanagere lacked such training facilities. I would not have been to Bengaluru if the centre in Belludi had been established earlier “said Avinash.
