/ Education Community

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has announced the results of the SSC (Class 10) board exams for the year 2023. The results can be accessed on the official websites of the board, namely mahresult.nic.in, sscresult.mkcl.org, or msbshse.co.in. This year, the pass percentage for SSC students is 93.83%, showing a decrease of 3.18% compared to the previous year. The decline in pass percentage is observed across various board exams at the state and national levels. Several factors may have contributed to this decline, including the impact of the lockdown on students’ learning abilities, the successful anti-cheating campaign implemented in the state, the leniency granted during the board exams in pandemic years, and the varying difficulty levels of question papers. In terms of individual scores, 151 students achieved a perfect 100%, with the majority from Latur (108) followed by Aurangabad (22), Amravati (7), Mumbai (6), Pune (5), and Konkan (3). Out of the 37,704 repeaters who registered for the SSC exams, 36,648 appeared, and 22,320 successfully passed, resulting in a pass percentage of 60.90%. Additionally, 8,397 persons with disabilities registered for the SSC exams, out of which 8,312 appeared and 7,688 passed, recording a pass percentage of 92.49%. Among the nine divisions, Konkan secured the highest pass percentage at 98.11%, while Nagpur had the lowest at 92.05%. Once again, girls outperformed boys with a pass percentage of 95.87% compared to boys’ 92.05%. A total of 1,529,096 students appeared for the exams, with 1,434,898 students passing. Among them, 526,210 students achieved first class, 334,015 received a second division, and 85,298 obtained a pass class. Students can apply for mark verification online at http://verification.mh-ssc.ac.in from June 3 to June 12, along with a fee of Rs 50. A remarkable 66,578 students scored 90% and above, and 173,586 students were granted additional marks for participating in non-academic activities such as sports. Additionally, 33,306 students have been allowed to proceed to the next grade with a “keep term” status (ATKT), in case they failed in a maximum of two subjects. These students need to clear their SSC papers before being admitted to Class 12. This year, a total of 1,577,256 students registered for the MSBSHSE SSC exam, comprising 844,116 boys and 733,067 girls. The exams were conducted from March 2 to March 25 at 5,033 centers across the state. In previous years, the pass percentages were as follows: 96.94% in 2022, 99.95% in 2021, 95.30% in 2020 (pre-pandemic), 77.10% in 2019, and 89.41% in 2018.

Aadhaar-Based Payment System to Cover 90% of MGNREGS Workers by June-End

/ Governance Community

The Indian government plans to implement an Aadhaar-based payment system (ABPS) for 90% of active workers under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) by the end of June. The Ministry of Rural Development aims to make ABPS mandatory for wage settlements starting July 1. Currently, around 74.9% of active workers are eligible for the payment system. The government has instructed state governments to organize camps and maintain contact with beneficiaries to ensure complete coverage under ABPS. However, workers without an Aadhaar number should not be denied work. The government aims to register approximately 1,491,848 workers daily to meet the June 30 deadline. Some states are falling short of the targets, and they are labelled as “lagging” in terms of daily data updates on the government dashboard. Several states have a low percentage of eligible workers, including Meghalaya, Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Gujarat. However, the government remains optimistic that 88-90% of active MGNREGS workers will be covered by the end of the month. According to government data, out of the total 14.28 crore active beneficiaries, Aadhaar has been linked to 13.75 crore individuals, and 12.17 crore of these have been authenticated, making them eligible for ABPS. In May, approximately 88% of wage payments were made through ABPS. The MGNREGS is a government initiative that provides a minimum of 100 days of guaranteed wage employment per financial year to rural households for unskilled manual work, aiming to improve their livelihood security.

FDA Approves Pfizer’s RSV Vaccine for Older Adults, Expanding Protection Against Respiratory Illness

/ Health & Wellness Community

Pfizer’s respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine for older adults has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), becoming the second vaccine against this common respiratory disease to receive approval. The FDA’s decision closely follows the approval of a similar vaccine by GSK Plc. Pfizer’s vaccine, named Abrysvo, is authorized for individuals aged 60 and older, matching the age group for GSK’s vaccine. According to a late-stage study, Pfizer’s vaccine demonstrated 67% effectiveness among adults aged 60 and older with two or more RSV symptoms and 85.7% efficacy against severe illness characterized by three or more symptoms. Both Pfizer and GSK anticipate a lucrative market for RSV vaccines. Pfizer aims to make its vaccine available in the third quarter before the next RSV season, pending approval from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC’s advisory committee is scheduled to convene in June to discuss various aspects, including the target recipients and dosing intervals for the vaccines. Pfizer has not disclosed the price of the vaccine but has stated that it will be value-based to support routine vaccination within the recommended age group. If the CDC recommends routine use, the vaccine will likely be widely accessible at no cost for most older Americans covered by the Medicare health plan. Although RSV typically causes mild cold-like symptoms, it can lead to severe illness and hospitalization, particularly among individuals aged 65 and older, resulting in approximately 14,000 deaths annually in the United States. Furthermore, Pfizer is pursuing FDA approval for its RSV vaccine to protect infants by vaccinating pregnant women. If approved, it would be the first RSV vaccine available for safeguarding babies, who face a high risk of severe illness. The vaccine has received support from the FDA’s external expert panel for use in pregnant women. Pfizer plans to launch its RSV vaccine for older adults and pregnant women in the United States and Europe this year. Moderna Inc also intends to seek approval for its RSV vaccine targeting individuals aged 60 and older later this quarter. In November, Sanofi and AstraZeneca gained European marketing authorization for their antibody treatment nirsevimab, designed to prevent RSV in newborns and infants, and it is currently undergoing FDA review.

Yeah, this type of education event is very much needed for society. Actually, South is of course, advanced, but we feel that our Eastern part is in a gap. So, it is very good. I am feeling good. Can you tell us about your institution? Yes, our institution was actually started in 2014. Our intention is to provide digital education to the interior parts of India, especially the villages and remote areas. We focus on these areas because nobody is giving attention to the interior side of our country. So, our goal is to work on education in these neglected regions. In this kind of forum, where education leaders, EdTech players, and government officials come together, how do you think it benefits the education sector? Of course, it will benefit the community and the country. However, I feel there is a gap. While all the speakers talk about the quality of education, nobody is giving emphasis to moral-based education, the repair of the soul. So, I think it is important to give more emphasis to moral education. We are a media startup, and in a few months, we will be completing two years of our existence. Any message you want to give to ArdorComm Media Group? I believe it will be beneficial for our community, society, and our country. So, I also hope that you can keep more focus on our country.
