With the count-down to the SSC (Class X) results having begun, students and parents alike have gone into an anxiety overdrive...
While sources within the Maharashtra State Board for Secondary and Higher Secondary Education disclose that mark-sheets will be distributed to students today at their respective schools, service providers the likes of Hutch, Reliance, etc, have jumped onto the results bandwagon in full-sway, in an attempt to provide SSC results prior to the official declaration.
And though this might serve to soothe fraught nerves, one "Maharashtra Samajik Vikas Foundation (MSVF)" from Pune has taken objection, and filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on the issue.
Among other things, the petition argues that the Board, which is a statutory body, should not be providing copies of results to private companies (service providers). Further, there is no reason why the Board should accept royalty from service providers, for making results available in advance. Also, it is unethical for service providers to extort money from parents and students in their present situation.
MSVF claims that service providers cough-up obscene amounts to the tune of Rs 60,000 to Rs 80,000, so as to get results from the Board in advance. Not only this, they make much more than what they pay to the Board in lieu of the services they provide to students.
And... for those who don't want to be a part of this fracas one way or the other, please visit http://mahresult.nic.in/ssc2006/PuneSSC06V1.htm to get your SSC results.
