Zilla parishad teacher Balaji Jadhav said, "These tests are considered the foundation of competitive examinations.
This year, it was held in Feb. Students, teachers and parents are awaiting the final results and the merit list."
On April 25, the council had declared interim results which said 23.9% students from Class V and 19.3% from Class VIII had passed. However, the final results are not yet out.
Lakhs of students from the state appear for the classes X and XII board examinations and the results are declared on time.
Another ZP teacher, Krishna Vadhu, said, "Why the examination council is taking so much time to declare the scholarship result is a mystery.
If these examinations are conducted slightly earlier than the current schedule and results are declared in April-May, it could benefit school admissions." The teacher said the number of students appearing for scholarship exams has already decreased.
Commissioner of the council Anuradha Oak confirmed the results would be announced in the next two to three days. "There were problems related to results from remote areas and we had to do some reverification. We are almost ready with the final marks and students will have the results soon."

City sees significant surge in UTIs & fungal infections during monsoon
Pune: Clinics across the city have reported a significant rise in fungal skin infections and urinary tract infections in the current monsoon. Doctors attribute the rise to prolonged dampness, slow-drying clothes and extended periods in rain-soaked garments. High humidity in the city and overcast skies have hindered the proper drying of clothes and personal layers. These situations created favourable conditions for seasonal infections. "There has been a 30% spike in cases of fungal infection in the last few weeks. Many patients claimed they didn't have the option to change wet clothes while they were out. Such situations made them prone to infections," said Dr Sachin Khandikar, a city-based dermatologist. He added that excessive humidity has created ideal conditions for fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot and candidiasis, which commonly affect skin folds like the groin, underarms, and spaces between the toes.

"Sweating during the monsoon irritates the skin and creates an ideal environment for fungi and bacteria to grow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NYC Hotel Smartphone Booking | Bookmark Now! | New York City Hotel Booking | Mill Canyon Road Click Here Undo Even something as simple as wearing damp socks for long can lead to fungal infections," she said. Additionally, doctors have been treating mild rashes such as tinea versicolor and yeast-related irritation, which typically present as red, itchy patches or discolored spots in areas which remain warm and covered. Urologists and gynecologists in the city have also observed a seasonal uptick in UTIs, affecting both men and women. Common symptoms include burning sensation while urinating, a frequent urge to urinate, lower abdominal pain and sometimes fever or cloudy urine. Dr Paresh Jariwala, an urologist, said, "Sudden weather changes can weaken the immune system. People also tend to drink less water in the rainy season, which leads to dehydration and increases the risk of UTIs. Damp conditions can cause sweat and bacteria to accumulate around intimate areas." Gynaecologist Dr Seema Mhatre emphasized the importance of preventive hygiene. "Changing damp clothes promptly and maintaining intimate hygiene is essential," she advised. However, experts caution against self-medication. "People often reach for over-the-counter antifungal creams or antibiotics at the first sign of a rash, but this can do more harm than good. Topical steroid creams or inappropriate medications may temporarily reduce symptoms, but can worsen the infection over time. It's important to get a proper medical diagnosis and follow prescribed treatment," Dr Singh added.

Stock in major Maha dams breaches halfway-mark as early as July first week, highest for the period in at least a decade
Pune: Major reservoirs in Maharashtra surpassed the halfway storage mark on Thursday, their highest July first week level in at least a decade, following 500mm-1,000mm rainfall in major dam catchments since the monsoon onset in the state in May. According to a senior official from the water resources department, the collective water storage in Maharashtra's major dams reached 51% of their total capacity on Thursday, highest July first week stock in at least a decade. The stock stood at just 20% on the same day last year. "Several key reservoirs in western Maharashtra have reached or are nearing the halfway mark in terms of water storage. These include prominent dams like Ujani, Varasgaon, Panshet and Bhatghar in Pune district; Koyna and Radhanagari in Kolhapur; Gangapur and Bhandardara in Nashik; and Veer and Dhom in Satara district. Besides, major dams in the Marathwada region, including Jayakwadi, Manjara, Sina Koregaon and Lower Terna, have also reached near half capacity," the official said, citing data available with the department.

Water has been released into various rivers from Khadakwasla, Veer, Chaskaman and Ujani dams over the last few days as a precautionary measure," the official said. Officials from the department said teams were deployed at all the dam sites round-the-clock to monitor water levels and manage discharges. According to the department, there are 138 major dams spread across six divisions across the state. Dams from the Konkan region were at the top with collective live storage of 61% on Thursday against last year's stock of 28%, followed by the dams in the Pune division, which had 58% stock as compared to last year's reserve of 15%. The collective storage in the dams in the Nashik division was at 52% as against 17% in 2024. "Nagpur is the only division in the state where major dams collectively had lesser live water stock on Thursday (35%) when compared to last year's stock of 36.4%, primarily due to less rainfall in the Vidarbha region during the period," another official from the department said. Officials from the Khadakwasla irrigation circle said water discharge from Khadakwasla dam was increased to the rate of 8,400 cusecs into the Mutha river on Thursday following a rise in rainfall activity in the catchments. The irrigation department has issued alert to PMC to increase vigilance along the river.
