Dantewada: From decades of conflict to story of success in education

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.
