scenario and discussed at length to create awareness on education. The eastern-most district of the state was adjudged poorest performingdistrict in the recent CBSE XII result.

fair and transparent recruitment of MTS, clerical staffers etc in the recent interviews.
The district administration also informed that the district is facinggreat challenges in the educational sector. The shortage of subjectteachers, unqualified and untrained teachers, poor infrastructure,

lack of teaching learning materials, non replacement of textbooks are main causes of poor performance in CBSE results, the DC informed.
