Sagar Watch News/ February 24, 2026/ Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), one of India’s leading test preparation institutes, has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Indian Army and the CRPF Family Welfare Association (CWA) to strengthen educational support for serving personnel, veterans, and their families across the country.
The initiative aims to expand access to quality coaching through structured scholarships, mentoring, and career counselling at AESL centres nationwide. The agreement follows a similar recent collaboration with the Border Security Force (BSF), reinforcing AESL’s commitment to supporting defence families.
Under the three-year agreement, eligible beneficiaries—including dependents of martyrs, gallantry awardees, disabled personnel, serving and retired members—will receive national-level scholarships and special benefits. The support will run alongside AESL’s existing merit-based scholarship schemes.
Special Highlights:
-
100% tuition fee waiver (only registration fee payable) for dependents of personnel martyred in the line of duty (Army and CRPF).
-
100% tuition fee waiver for dependents of personnel with over 20% disability and gallantry awardees (Army), and for severely disabled CRPF personnel upon valid certification.
-
20% tuition fee concession for dependents of serving and retired Army personnel (after other scholarships).
-
22% tuition fee concession for serving, retired, and gallantry awardee CRPF personnel, over and above existing scholarship schemes.
-
National-level scholarship and talent identification exams, including the Aakash National Talent Hunt Exam, to be conducted at designated defence schools and AESL centres.
-
Continuous academic mentoring, online and offline coaching support, and structured career guidance.
AESL Managing Director and CEO, Chandra Shekhar Garisa Reddy, said the initiative is a meaningful step toward ensuring that families of those who serve the nation receive every opportunity to pursue their academic aspirations and career goals.
The programme is designed as a long-term collaboration to remove financial barriers and strengthen competitive exam preparation for defence and paramilitary families nationwide.
