To improve pass rates in the Class X examinations, several government and local body schools across the state have started special evening classes without providing snacks, leaving students to attend the sessions on an empty stomach. After regular class hours from 9 am to 4:15 pm, the schools hold additional sessions lasting one to one and a half hours to help students prepare for their exams, aiming for a 100% pass rate.
Since the students were staying back after school hours to prepare for the examinations, Harish Rao decided to arrange evening snacks at his own expense
The State government's move to offer snacks to Class 10 students appearing for the SSC public examinations in April will benefit over 11,000 students in the erstwhile Khammam district.
