Ten tribal youths from a remote village in Chhattisgarh have cracked the SSC and state police constable examination after receiving two years of coaching from the troops of an Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) battalion engaged in anti-Naxal operations. The success story has emerged from the Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki district located in the south-western part of the state bordering Maharashtra, said.
The region is affected by Maoist violence and adjoins the Left Wing Extremism-hit Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra and the Rajnandgaon, Bastar and Kanker districts in Chhattisgarh. About two years ago, the company operating base (COB) of the 27th ITBP battalion located in Aundhi village, around 200 km from the capital Raipur, engaged a group of local tribal youth, launching career counselling and physical training sessions for them.
The youngsters, in the age group of 23-25 years, showed excellent determination, worked hard with the ITBP instructors and recently cleared the written and physical test conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) and Chhattisgarh state for recruitment as police constables, a senior officer said.
