VIP NGO Awards 18 SSC Girl Toppers Across Mahabubnagar to Champion Rural Education
Mahabubnagar: In a heartwarming initiative to promote girl child education in rural Telangana, the Villages in Partnership (VIP) NGO felicitated 18 girl students from government Telugu medium schools across 17 mandals in Mahabubnagar district for topping the SSC Public Examinations. The award ceremony, held at Gayatri Function Hall in Padmavati Colony, saw the toppers being honored with a ₹5,000 cash prize and a ₹20,000 SBI mutual fund deposit, which can be encashed after five years—timed to support them during their degree education. Launched in 2016-17, this is the fifth batch of awardees under VIP's flagship initiative, which aims to fight deep-rooted social barriers and financial hardships that prevent rural girls from pursuing higher education. Nagendra Swamy, Executive Director of VIP, highlighted that many girls in rural areas are still forced to drop out after primary school or SSC due to marriage or lack of awareness. 'Our goal is to change this mindset by celebrating academic excellence and inspiring families to invest in their daughters' futures,' he said. As part of the initiative, one top-performing girl from each mandal was selected. Among the awardees were Bushra Hussain from Kotta Molgera (Bhootpur), Nandini from Chinna Chintakunta, Akhila from Devarkadra, Vaishnavi from Gandeed, Shruti from Hanwada, Harini from Jadcherla, Shravanti from Koikonda, Maheshwari from Kaukuntla, Srilatha from Mahabubnagar Rural, Vaishnavi from Mahabubnagar Urban, V. Shailaja from Midjil, Karthika from Mamdabad, Indu from Musapet, Chandana from Rajapur, and students from Nawabpet and Balanagar. The event was graced by Jagadeeshwar, Retired IAS officer and newly appointed President of VIP, who praised the initiative as a transformative step for rural communities. Prominent industrialist Vaman Rao, Chief of Kapil Group, also attended and extended his support to the cause. Adding inspiration to the evening were success stories from past awardees like K. Anusha, now a Project Coordinator at TGIC; Sunita, who completed her MBBS from Osmania Medical College and is now interning at Osmania General Hospital; and J. Anusha, working as an apprentice at DRDO after completing her in EEE. All three came from humble backgrounds and credited the VIP initiative for helping them dream big and achieve their goals. In a unique green gesture, each student was given three saplings—one for themselves, one for their teacher, and one for their village sarpanch—with a call to nurture the trees as symbols of growth, education, and environmental responsibility. The event concluded on an inspiring note with the alumni urging the new awardees to believe in themselves, pursue their dreams fearlessly, and continue breaking barriers through the power of education.

Over 10,000 SSC answer scripts found with errors after reverification in Andhra Pradesh
VIJAYAWADA: Exposing serious lapses in evaluation, errors were found in 11,175 scripts involving 10,159 students after the reverification and recounting process of the SSC Public Examinations held in March 2025. The School Education Department had received a record 66,363 applications - 64,251 for reverification and 2,112 for recounting—from 34,709 of the 6,14,459 students who appeared for the exam. Recounting resulted in just 308 changes, while reverification led to 10,867 corrections, marking an 18% change rate among reviewed cases. However, gross negligence was reported in a few instances, calculated at 0.00006%. Most discrepancies stemmed from missed entries in total mark calculations or transcription errors on OMR sheets. In a first for over a decade, the department suspended five evaluators for negligence. The suspended staff reportedly failed to detect errors despite mandatory checks by Assistant Examiners, Special Assistants and Chief Examiners under the three-tier supervision system.
