Bengaluru, Mar 3: Anxious class 10 students, who will be appearing for the public exam this year, can beat their stress by calling the SSLC helpline that was inaugurated on Monday.

sslcThe helpline (080-23310075 or 23310076), which will be run by the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB) along with counsellors of a non-governmental organisation, will help address exam-related anxieties, clear doubts related to subjects and address queries on the new paper pattern. Students can call on the helpline centre between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. till the SSLC examination ends on April 13.

Commissioner for Public Instruction Mohammad Mohsin, who inaugurated the helpline, said the department will install CCTV cameras in some centres identified as sensitive or hypersensitive. He, however, said the modalities of it were yet to be chalked out.

Acknowledging that examination stress leads to adverse effects on students and parents, KSEEB has sent a note called ‘Make examination a pleasure, not pressure’ along with the hall tickets.

The note urges students to change their attitude towards exams and tells them how they can beat anxiety using simple breathing techniques, the type of food they should eat, memory techniques, and effective ways of managing time.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his recent ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme, had reached out to the student community and told them that life was bigger than just academic examinations.

Urging them to appear for exams calmly, he asked students to have faith in themselves.

Mangaluru, Apr 23: The scarcity of water in Kukkavu area of Belthangady town in Dakshina Kannada district has forced school-going children to dig a well with their hands.
The children studying in primary schools were seen lifting the heavy buckets of water from the well.

The residents were facing the water shortage from the past couple of days, amid the coronavirus lockdown.
A group of five adolescents managed to dug the well as deep as 12 feet within just a span of four days.

" We are facing water problem now. With the support of my five more friends, we dug this well. At the beginning we just found soil, then in the deeper layers, we also found stones. We got access to the water at 10 feet down," said Dhanush, a class 9th student, while speaking to news agency.

The shortage of water during the summer months is a perennial problem in across several states in India, and the growing population has only added to the woes.
