An effort to bring dropouts to the mainstream by Police inspector LY Rajesh from the Bandepalya Police station along with the support of NGOs has succeeded in helping nearly 35 out of 65 students pass in their Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) supplementary exams through just 21 days coaching.
The initiative was started by him in 2022 and NGOs Raajalanchana and Darpana lent support. Speaking to The Hindu, a volunteer of Raajalanchana, Sheetal said, “Once the SSLC results are out, we go to schools in and around HSR layout and collect the list of students who have failed in their exams, talk to their parents about this initiative and that’s how we get students to come and learn under us.”
