Outstanding
success comes to the students of BJS Wagholi Education Rehabilitation Centre in
10TH STD. The Students from Melghat-Thane tribal region and from farmer suicide
affected families of Marathwada, studying in BJS’ Wagholi Education
Rehabilitation Centre have passed successfully in the exam of standard 10th.
Unfortunately only two students did not pass the exam. Since 1993, BJS' Wagholi Education
Rehabilitation Centre (WERC) gives free education and all other facilities to
the students from Std 5 to Std 12 that face problem due to natural calamities
at various places. Out of this, 67
tribal students appeared for STD 10th Exam. And it is notable that 28 percent
of these students got more than 70% marks in the exam. Out of these students, Umesh Prakash Bhandari tops the chart with 91%.
When
in 1997, the children from Melghat were brought to the hostel; the passing
percentage was only 20-30 percent. But afterwards, Wagholi Education
Rehabilitation Centre took efforts on these students and we take pride in
saying that since last ten years, the percentage of passing is 97 to 100. The
rise in this percentage is an important factor and it really shows the hard
work of the students as well as the teachers and their parents. 63% of tribal
students have scored more than 61%. In this, three students from our school
have got more than 90% and have secured position in merit list.
BJS
brought 288 children of suicide-hit farmer families of Marathwada to Wagholi
Education Rehabilitation Centre. Amidst of much difficulties, these students
have worked hard and have passed the exam successfully. The students of 10th STD from Marathwada got
only 2-3 months to study. They gave the exam at the centers in their own
villages. All these students' family condition is very bad, their fathers have
committed suicide in recent past and hence the condition at their homes was
very tense. In this adverse condition also, in a very less span, these students
have performed well in the STD 10th exam.
So, this outstanding success of these students is the fruit of real hard
work and unanimous spirit of every one behind Wagholi Education Rehabilitation
Centre.
