City Affected By Extremism Outperform Others

If we study the city or town wise performance of all the students, students from Khunti district surpassed those from the capital Ranchi and other bigger cities such as Bokaro, Dhanbad and Jamshedpur. Khunti district just 50 km away from Ranchi has always been backward, affected by the Left geo-political extremism. The total passing score in the district was 89.78 outperforming that of other 24 districts in the state. “It is a matter of pride for the students and the education officials in Khunti that the district has performed best in the state. This proves that if you are hard-working and focused, your geographical location doesn’t make any difference,” said Singh.
