The total enrolled students of the SC, ST, and OBC of the east district were 10026 and 9945 respectively.

It is noted that the passing percentage of the Grade –V of West District is much better than that the east but the passing percentage of Grade –VIII is vice versa. For the current year the data has been collected and the examination was ongoing process. Thus, we derived only the enrolled students for both Grade and categorized to SC and ST. Attributes pertaining to the Principal/Head Teacher towards the Investigation: 1. Initially the reaction of the Head of the schools we overall if we say were good. The support we got is really appreciable in this regards. Though in some cases it was noticed that the Head of the Schools were busy in school co-curricular activities. So in this case we faced a bit problem to collect the data as required for 5% Sample Survey. In some schools the Head of the Schools were not present since they were out of station for official jobs. 2. The availability of the data was in average. No systematic updating and maintenance of records we found. In some schools the records of school like Enrollment, Passing percentage, Highest Scorer and Staff details were shown in the chart which we find the easiest way to grab the data. But in some schools there were no proper maintenance of Register too which make us delay on collecting records and data. 3. The Attendance of the schools was found updated every day. But the total summary of absence, present and leave was not found in some schools for the ending of the month.
