THE grit and determination of the students and administration of Dantewada, the Chattisgarh district long-besieged by Maoist insurgency, have paid off.

- EJAZ KAISER @ Raipur

The district topped the state in the Class 10 board exams and came sixth in the 12th.

The Class 10 students — mostly from tribal communities — scored an impressive 94.95% overall pass percentage. In contrast, capital Raipur came 32nd among the districts with a 66.24% pass percentage.

Their performance is seen as a befitting reply to Maoist terror. It is a remarkable feat in education, with schools determined to sustain high enrolment and support students under trying circumstances.
