--The Pioneer impact--
BHUBANESWAR: The boy
from Ganjam district, who had passed Matric examination in 2012, has finally
received his certificates from the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha
after appealing to the board several times.
The Pioneer had
reported a story headlined ‘3 yrs on, Ganjam lad yet to get Matric certificate’
on this July 1 highlighting the plight of the student Pintu Nahak of Lunghuri
village under the Rambha police limits in Ganjam district.
Normally the board issues
certificates in favour of passed out students within two weeks, but it didn’t
happen in the case of Pintu, a student of the Panchayat High School at Palanga
in Ganjam district.
After appearing the
board exam (regular) in 2012, Pintu was happy that he would join in a college
to continue his study, but it could not be materialised as he failed to get his
certificate unlike his classmates.
Pintu had been
requesting the BSE’s Brahmapur zone along with the BSE main office at Cuttack
during last three years, but it became materialised after intervention of The
Pioneer correspondent.
“My headmaster informed
me that the certificate has come to the school. I went to the school and
brought the certificate. I’m so happy that finally I got my certificate,” Pintu
said, adding, “But it is a matter of pain that this year also I can’t join in
Plus II course.”
According to the BSE
officials, the publication of result got delayed due to change in examination
roll number. Pintu’s roll number was DBP 029178 in his handwritten certificate,
but it was awarded to another student of the school. Now he was awarded with
his original roll number DBP 029096, the official communication said.
