As a special recognition of their feat, the Uttar Pradesh government has announced that roads will be built up to the houses of toppers in this year’s Class X and Class XII board examinations. This is a first by any state.

Announcing the results at a press conference on Saturday, deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma said, “On the instructions of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath , the top 10 merit rank holders will get Rs 1 lakh cash, a laptop and we will build a road to their houses.”

Yogi congratulated all pass-outs and also hailed the secondary education department for timely completion of the evaluation process despite the Covid-19 outbreak and a lockdown.

In a video message, the CM said, “It is heartening to see that despite the Covid-19 pandemic, results of both Class X and Class XII examinations have improved from last year.” He added that students will get their marksheets from July 1.

Before the results were declared, Yogi had tweeted: “Exam and results are a way for self-analysis. Hence, it’s important to accept the results the way they come.”
