AGARTALA, March 17 (TIWN) : Board examinations for TBSE and CBSE have been started in Tripura, but maximum schools based in the interior parts of the hilly state are regularly suffering from power-crisis, which is hugely hampering their studies.

Reportedly, in many schools, the students who are appearing for board examinations are frequently facing the load-shedding problems due to the poor connections of electrical lines.

For example Poang Bari at Manughat, Marichara school under South Tripura, the schools at Killa, under Gomati District, many schools at korbook under Gomati Dist., and tribal hostel based schools at Rupaichari and many other Christian & Hindu Missionary schools at Tripura are the common endure of such problems.  

In study hours students are found to study by sticking candles on their benches at evening, however at early morning also, the scenario is  same.

The local people are also the sufferer and the students who are giving exams from homes are the victim of the same problem.

According to the report, once the power is gone due to some slight rain and thunders, it takes atleast 2-3 days to recover. The power dept. workers come and repair the lines temporarily, but again with the hit of waves the power goes away.

In such critical conditions the students in interior part of Tripura are giving exams and trying to perform their best .

However the cities are almost less affected from load-shedding during board exam times, but as far as the urban and interior parts are concerned, students are the worst sufferer.

Board exam regardless TBSE & CBSE have been started in allover Tripura from March 2, 2016, but the problem of load-shedding ongoing in full swing with that.  

So for better future of the students in upcoming board examinations (in 2017 may be), the Govt. should take step to strengthen the electrical lines in interior parts of the state, so that the students of residential schools can receive all the basic luxuries for education.
