Gujarat’s academic calendar hit a high note Thursday with the launch of 10th and 12th standard board exams, involving upwards of 15 lakh students. State Minister for Education Rivaba Jadeja stole the spotlight, visiting a Sector-23 exam site in Gandhinagar to infuse positivity and inspect operations.
Amid bustling preparations, Jadeja connected with students, redefining exams as joyful festivals. ‘Celebrate them with enthusiasm—no room for fear. They’re building blocks for your future; tackle with tranquility and self-assurance,’ she motivated.
True to auspicious customs, she distributed flowers, pens, notepads, and sweets, creating memorable moments. Her diligence shone in evaluating infrastructure, security enhancements such as CCTVs, and staff coordination for seamless execution.
To journalists, Jadeja outlined the safeguards: ‘Heartfelt wishes to students and officials who’ve secured the process. From helplines via control rooms to vigilant flying squads at sensitive venues, everything’s in place.’ She stressed the exams’ transformative importance, crediting thorough departmental groundwork.
This hands-on approach from the minister not only elevates student spirits but exemplifies Gujarat’s student-centric education model. With exams spanning weeks, such gestures pave the way for confident performances and success stories.
