A meeting was held today, chaired by Deputy Commissioner Anupam Kashyap, to discuss providing coaching facilities to orphaned children under the Chief Minister Sukh Ashray Scheme. Representatives from renowned coaching institutions in Shimla also participated in the meeting.

Following in-depth discussions, the Department of Women and Child Development was instructed to develop a comprehensive standard operating procedure to ensure that eligible children benefit from the scheme.
