Rohtak, Haryana: In a landmark move aimed at
transforming public education and bridging the gap between government
and private schooling, Haryana’s Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda
inaugurated the highly anticipated ‘Super 40’ program in Rohtak.
Launched at the Government Girls Senior Secondary School on Hisar Road,
this initiative is designed to empower government school students by
providing them with top-tier, free coaching for highly competitive
national exams including JEE, NEET, and the NDA.
A Transformational Model for Public Education
Calling
the ‘Super 40’ initiative a “transformational model,” Minister Mahipal
Dhanda emphasized the state’s unwavering commitment to equitable
education. The core philosophy of the program ensures that meritorious
students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are not deprived of
premier educational opportunities due to a lack of financial resources.
“Students
of government schools are second to none. With the right guidance,
discipline, and consistent effort, they can achieve any goal,” Dhanda
stated during his interaction with the first batch of aspirants. To
further strengthen the academic infrastructure and support system of the
program, the Education Minister also announced an immediate grant of ₹5
lakh from his discretionary fund.
Bridging the Gap: What is the ‘Super 40’ Program?
Drawing
inspiration from Haryana’s highly successful flagship ‘Super 100’
initiative, ‘Super 40’ expands the reach of free, high-quality coaching
to a wider pool of talented students. The program is specifically
structured to challenge the widespread perception that premium
competitive exam preparation is exclusively the domain of expensive
private coaching institutes.
Key features of the Super 40 initiative include:
-
Expert Faculty: Coaching delivered by highly experienced teachers drawn directly from the government school ecosystem.
-
Comprehensive Curriculum: A structured one-year course for Class 11 and 12 students, alongside a two-year phased preparation model.
-
NCERT Focus:
Emphasis on deep conceptual clarity based on the NCERT syllabus,
supplemented by regular testing and strict performance tracking. -
Competitive Environment: Creating an ecosystem of regular assessments and peer learning that mimics the country’s leading private coaching centers.
Fostering Inclusion and Opportunity

Deputy Commissioner Sachin Gupta highlighted the inclusive vision
driving the new program. By bringing exceptional coaching directly into
the government school framework, the district administration aims to
ensure that raw talent is not limited by a lack of access.
“Super
40 is about inclusion and opportunity. The aim is to make government
schooling synonymous with excellence and competitiveness, ensuring that
opportunity reaches the last mile,” Gupta noted.
By preparing
students for premier institutions like the IITs, AIIMS, and the National
Defence Academy, the Rohtak administration is not just offering free
classes—it is attempting a systemic shift in how public education is
perceived in Haryana. With rigorous tracking and dedicated mentorship,
the ‘Super 40’ batch is set to redefine success for government school
students across the state.
