Pintu Nahak |
BHUBANESWAR:
A boy from Ganjam district, who passed Matric examination in 2012, is yet to
get his certificate from the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha.
Normally,
the board issues certificates in favour of pass-out students within two to
three weeks, but it did not happen in the case of Pintu Nahak of Lunghuri
village under the Rambha police limits in Ganjam district.
Pintu,
a student of the Panchayat High School at Palanga in Ganjam district, has been
seeking justice from the BSE’s Brahmapur Zone along with the BSE main office in
Cuttack during last three years, but nothing has happened till date.
In
2012, when his result was published, Pintu was happy that he would join in a
college, but his hope could not materialise as he failed to get his
certificate, unlike his classmates. The school headmaster said the board would
issue his certificate after correcting some minor mistakes in his file.
After
receiving repeated requests from Pintu’s father Ananta Nahak, the BSE had issued
a handwritten certificate for joining in Plus II course. “I had applied for
Plus II course after getting the certificate, but the SAMS centre said the
handwritten certificate won’t be accepted,” said Pintu.
He
said he suffers so much pain and agony as he could not continue his education
for the mistake of the BSE. In the situation, his father planned him to join in
an ITI in order to keep him busy in studies.
But
the ITI also raised several questions about the handwritten certificate and
allowed Pintu to join only after getting an undertaking from the BSE, Brahmapur
Zone. Even the same institution took a second undertaking from the BSE while
giving him the ITI pass-out certificates.
Pintu
later emailed a letter to the BSE President DP Nanda last year. Even he met the
BSE Examinations Controller twice to give his certificates, but in vain.
“I
had already requested the Zonal Director, Brahmapur thrice in this regard, but
he every time says the Board is processing my certificates,” said the boy.
Last
year, Pintu had got an opportunity to work in a company, but he could not join
due to the certificate problem. Now this year too, he failed to join in the
Plus II course for the same problem, he added.
“All
the Matric pass-outs got their certificates within one or two weeks after
declaration of the results, but why the BSE is taking so much of time in my
case!” Pintu lamented.
When
contacted, BSE Examinations Controller Dr Nihar Ranjan Mohanty said they would
process the certificate very soon while BSE President Nanda said on Monday that
he was out of the State and would comment on the issue after looking into the
files.
