Buoyed by the rise in SSC pass percentage by nearly 20 percent, the district administration is now aiming to achieve 100 percent success this year. As part of their endeavour to this end, the officials have decided to introduce 'yoga classes' to improve the concentration of students in social welfare hostels in the current academic year. The Yoga experts will train both students and wardens at 10 hostels on an experimental basis. Training for wardens will help them conduct classes for students whenever possible.
The pass percentage was 63.9 in 2007/08 and it increased to 81.7 percent in 2008-09. The rise has been possible due to the initiative of the officials to provide study material in time, appointment of vidya volunteers and motivation classes for teachers and students.
Collector Purushottam Reddy has also played his part in this exercise by constantly reviewing the situation. There are 126 social welfare hostels in the district. Of the 1,405 inmates who attended SSC examination from these hostels, 1,148 have passed, 654 in first class, 374 in second class and 175 in third class.
Speaking to this paper, Social Welfare deputy director Ramesh said Yoga would certainly help them in achieving 100 percent results. As many as 13,529 students were residing in the hostels, at present, he said and added that they were ready to admit more pupils.
