Thursday dawned with excitement as Gujarat’s Class 10 and 12 board examinations got underway, drawing more than 15 lakh participants statewide. Adding a personal flair, State Education Minister Rivaba Jadeja descended upon a Gandhinagar school in Sector-23, turning exam day into an occasion of motivation and tradition.
Interacting animatedly with students queued for entry, Jadeja reframed the high-pressure event: ‘Exams aren’t daunting; they’re festivals to savor happily. They mold your destiny, so face them boldly with inner peace and unwavering confidence.’ Her words resonated, easing visible tensions.
Embodying cultural rituals, she welcomed learners with garlands of flowers, essential writing tools, and sweet treats to kickstart their efforts sweetly. Extending her oversight, Jadeja conferred with educators on logistics, vetted safety protocols like CCTV coverage, and confirmed provision of all comforts.
In media briefings, she elaborated on the orchestrated machinery: ‘Saluting the teamwork of departments ensuring safety for every student. Control rooms with helplines are active, backed by flying squads and fortified measures at key centers.’ Viewing exams as academic landmarks, her emphasis on preparation signals Gujarat’s resolve for excellence.
Jadeja’s initiative highlights leadership’s role in student welfare, fostering an environment where exams propel dreams forward rather than hinder them. As sessions continue, this momentum promises strong outcomes.
