A district-wise analysis of the board results revealed that several schools in the state failed to cross even the 35 per cent pass mark, with 18 institutions recording zero success in the examination.
'One school had 13 students, and not a single student passed,' said HBSE Chairman Dr Pawan Kumar, adding that in most of these zero-result schools, the number of examinees ranged from 1 to 2, with disappointing outcomes.
The board has recommended disciplinary action against teachers at these poorly performing schools and has also forwarded a detailed report to the Ministry of Education, underscoring the seriousness of the issue.

Dr Kumar emphasised the need for immediate intervention, including mandatory teacher training, student engagement programs, and direct interaction with parents to uncover the root causes of such dismal performance.
'Understanding the root of such poor performance is essential. Teachers must not only improve pedagogical methods but also reconnect with students and their challenges,' Dr Kumar was quoted as saying by TOI.

Daily Briefing: Parliament set for stormy session?
Good morning, Parliament reconvenes today, and tensions are already high. The government has agreed to the Opposition's demand to discuss Operation Sindoor, India's cross-border strike in May against terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. However, other demands remain unresolved. The Opposition is pushing for a statement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as discussions on US President Donald Trump's claim of mediating the ceasefire and concerns over electoral roll revisions in Bihar. Defending Modi, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the PM is 'always present in Parliament, even if not in the House,' barring foreign travel. He added, 'It's not right to drag him into every issue.' Despite the friction, Rijiju said the government is open to discussions and has urged the Opposition to let the House function smoothly. Also on the table are likely to be the impeachment motions against two judges: Justice Yashwant Varma, embroiled in the cash-at-home row, and Justice Shekhar Yadav, accused of hate speech at a Vishwa Hindu Parishad event. With critical issues at hand, it remains to be seen whether dialogue will prevail over disruption. On that note, let's get to the rest of today's edition. In a bold move towards high-tech warfare, the Indian Army is preparing for a significant technological upgrade, motivated by key insights from Operation Sindoor. As the battlefield develops, emphasis is shifting to smarter, faster, AI-driven combat tactics and enhanced satellite surveillance. AI on the frontlines: The Army has developed a detailed roadmap to deploy AI, Machine Learning, and Big Data Analytics in key areas, including drone swarming (coordinated drone missions), battlefield monitoring, combat simulations, and troop training. Crucially, the focus will be on faster, real-time data-backed decision-making, with AI tools expected to help condense long reports, detect unusual patterns and threats, and analyse feed from drones or satellites. On the watch: It is believed that Pakistan gained access to China's live satellite feed during Operation Sindoor. While India's satellites, Cartosat and RISAT, have supported defence forces, they have limitations. To address these issues, the Army plans to collaborate with global commercial satellite providers, such as Maxar Technologies, to improve surveillance capabilities. Kanhaiya Kumar has had a dynamic political arc, beginning with his days at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), though he would say his political journey started even before his birth, when he was 'assigned a caste, religion and gender'. Kumar has since contested two elections, one with the CPI and another with the Congress. Though he has lost both, he remains hopeful of a win. Kumar, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) in-charge, is expected to play a key role for the Congress in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. He joined The Indian Express for the latest Idea Exchange session to discuss his political ideology, concerns over the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, and the incarceration of student activist Umar Khalid. Handover: Former Union Minister Upendra Kushwaha was once a confidant of JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar before he left the party in 2023. Kushwaha remains a constituent of the NDA, and on Sunday, he had an interesting suggestion: Nitish should hand over the reins of the party to his son, Nishant Kumar. Dual roles: Former Union Minister Smriti Irani is set to reprise her role as Tulsi Virani in a reboot of the popular TV soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Her character in the first iteration of the Hindi drama made her a household name. She speaks to The Indian Express about her return to acting and how she balances the dual role of actor and politician. Foolproof: The Election Commission, while announcing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls, stated that it needed to ensure all voters met the age and citizenship eligibility criteria. However, an affidavit filed by Jharkhand's Chief Electoral Officer in the High Court attests that EC's 'clear safeguards' prevent enrolment of ineligible persons. It also underlined the limits of an Electoral Registration Officer's (ERO's) powers to question or initiate an inquiry into an individual's citizenship. Cropped: Until about six months ago, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was still grappling with stubborn inflation, mainly due to persistently high food prices. That made it difficult for the central bank to consider cutting interest rates. However, the surplus monsoon in 2024 followed, leading to a strong agricultural season and providing much-needed relief on the food front. As a result, food inflation has eased and is expected to stay low for now. We explain the factors behind this welcome shift. ♟️ The king falls: When World Champion D Gukesh defeated chess titan Magnus Carlsen at Norway Chess, many had called it 'luck'. A video of Carlsen's regrettable show of frustration at the end of the match went viral and soon became a meme template on social media. But subsequent losses at the hands of Indian players have shown cracks in the Norwegian's aura of invincibility. India's soft-spoken, bespectacled rising star R Praggnanandha has defeated the World No. 1 twice in the ongoing Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour. My colleague, Mayank Chaudhary, writes that Pragg may be the most competent Indian to take on the world's best player. Read. 🎧 Before you go, do tune in to the latest '3 Things' podcast episode.

Haryana Makes Gita Verse Recitation Compulsory In School Morning Prayers
Haryana School Education Board has made Gita verse recitation compulsory in school prayers, aiming to instil values like discipline, focus and moral guidance. The Haryana School Education Board has asked all schools in the state to include the recitation of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita verses during their daily morning prayers. In a letter to school principals, the Board's Chairman said that reading these verses will help in the overall growth of students. The Board believes that the teachings of the Gita provide moral and spiritual lessons that can guide young minds. This step aims to teach values like discipline, responsibility, and concentration to schoolchildren. 'The motive behind introducing the recitation of Bhagavad Gita verses to school prayer meetings is that children should learn from the spirituality and the knowledge that the scripture holds in abundance and follow them in their daily life to benefit society," Pawan Kumar, HSEB Chairman, said. 'We want to see a change in future generations that will become an example to the world and help India become the Vishwaguru, as PM Modi has also said. In olden times, people from all over the world used to come to India to gain spiritual knowledge. India's spiritual knowledge is the best in the world," he added. The new rule will apply to both government and private schools that are part of the Haryana School Education Board (HSEB). Principals have been told to make sure that selected verses from the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita are read regularly during morning assemblies. This step is part of the state's ongoing efforts to bring cultural and value-based education into schools. While some teachers welcome the move for its moral teachings, others may question the use of religious texts in public education. Officials have said that the verses will be shared in a way that highlights their educational and philosophical meaning, not religious teachings. Schools in Haryana are expected to start following this rule from the next academic term. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 08:46 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Marathi vs Hindi: Stakes are higher than politics
In recent weeks, it's been Maharashtra that's been the battleground of the three-language formula prescribed by National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The policy requires schools to teach three languages, with at least two of them being Indian languages. Non-Hindi-speaking states have feared that the third language would effectively become Hindi. In April, it was Tamil Nadu govt that vehemently opposed this Union govt move. In Maharashtra, too, opposition to this policy has been simmering for some time, mirroring the response in Tamil Nadu. But in June, protests escalated here. They gained momentum when schools reopened and the state govt issued a resolution making Hindi a compulsory third language for all Marathi- and English-medium schools, from grades 1 to 5.
