Details
Struggling with English, Maths, or Science? The Manipur government's CM’s Lairik Heiminnashi Programme (CMLH) is here to help. This initiative provides much-needed remedial coaching for students who need that extra push to succeed.
The CM’s Lairik Heiminnashi Programme is designed to give students a helping hand. It offers free coaching sessions in English, Mathematics, and Science. This support is for students in Classes 8, 9, and 10 who attend government schools or private schools that receive government funding. The main goal is to uplift students from minority, Other Backward Classes (OBC), and Scheduled Caste (SC) communities in Manipur.
This scheme is specifically for students in Manipur who are studying in Classes 8 to 10 under the Board of Secondary Education, Manipur (BOSEM). They must belong to a minority community, OBC, or SC. The coaching is targeted at students who find themselves academically weak and can benefit from extra support in core subjects.
The programme addresses the academic needs of students from disadvantaged communities, aiming to bridge the learning gap. By providing free, quality coaching, it helps these students improve their understanding of crucial subjects, potentially leading to better performance in their board exams and a stronger foundation for their future education.

What happens if students don't attend coaching regularly?
