At the Sector-23 school, Jadeja transformed the atmosphere into a festive one. ‘Treat these exams as a celebration,’ she told the students during heartfelt interactions. ‘Don’t fear them; they’re vital steps in crafting your life’s path. Stay composed and dive in with self-belief.’

Her involvement went beyond words—she personally handed out flowers, stationery items, and sweets to invoke good luck traditions. Jadeja also scrutinized the center’s setup, from student amenities to CCTV surveillance and staff readiness, ensuring nothing was amiss.

Addressing reporters, the minister detailed the massive scale: ‘Education department, alongside police and local officials, has created foolproof security. Helplines and control rooms are operational to assist any needs.’ She praised the elaborate planning, including flying squads for vigilance at high-risk spots, positioning the exams as a cornerstone of educational progress.

This proactive ministerial outreach not only boosted morale but also reassures stakeholders of Gujarat’s dedication to fair, stress-free evaluations. With multiple papers ahead, students are inspired to perform at their peak.

In a pre-exam boost, Minister Jitu Vaghani shared warm greetings for students and families. He reframed exams as gateways to new beginnings rather than nerve-wracking hurdles. ‘Approach them with self-assurance, free from mental strain,’ he advised, stressing the importance of a positive mindset.

Vaghani referenced PM Modi’s engaging interaction with students, where the leader instilled courage to exam without stress. Modi underscored that each individual possesses distinct abilities—recognize yours, hone your skills, and proceed undeterred, he echoed.

Official figures reveal 9.07 lakh Class 10 candidates, 5.01 lakh in Class 12 general, and 1.19 lakh in science streams. GUJCET aspirants push the count to 16.63 lakh, underscoring the scale of this event.

Under CM Bhupendra Patel’s guidance and Deputy CM Harsh Sanghvi’s backing, exam venues boast enhanced amenities and robust security protocols. Parents were urged to create nurturing atmospheres at home, prioritizing encouragement over expectations.

Vaghani’s final tip to exam-takers: Stay composed, articulate your knowledge effectively, and let preparation prevail. As bells ring for the first papers, Gujarat stands ready to support its youthful scholars toward success.
