Mysore/Mysuru: With Mysuru, the home district of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, faring well in the results of SSLC exams by catapulting to seventh place from the previous 19th position, the desire of the CM to see improvement in students performance has been fulfilled.

Following the dismal performance of the district in SSLC exams in the last three years, the CM had categorically instructed the Department of School Education and Literacy at the progress review meeting to improve the overall pass percentage to find a place among top five districts. The CM had also instructed the Mysuru Deputy Commissioner to take a serious look into it.

All efforts made to improve the results bore fruits with the district securing 87.19 overall pass percentage this year against 83 percent achieved in previous SSLC exam.
