SILIGURI, 28 MAY: Sayari Saha of Sunity Academy and Saumen Saha of Dinhata High School, both in Cooch Behar district, performed extremely well in the Madhyamik examination this year. Both scored 752 marks.More good results from north Bengal are coming in. While Soumyadip Basak of AC Institution in Malda secured 730 marks, Ramig Rega of Nahit HS School, Kusumandi, in South Dinajpur district, acquired 742 marks in the Madhyamik. The Malda boy had to overcome poverty and other obstacles to secure the high marks. He also secured 100 marks in Physical Science and Mathematics and is the possible topper in the district.Besides Soumyadip, Krishna Mandal of Mashaldighi Sibabrati Jew Vidvyapith in Gazole secured 726 marks while Parna-kitab Mandal of Gazole HNM HS School, the son of a rickshaw puller, secured 722 marks, surprising all. In South Dinajpur district, Arindam Bhowmik of Gangarampur High School achieved 738 marks and Soham Dutta of Balurghat High School got 729 marks. Both are among the top scorers in the district.The Jalpaiguri district by comparison has not done so well in this Madhamik examination. “The percentage secured by students who passed the examinations this year from Jalpaiguri district is less than in the other five districts of north Bengal,” said Mr Biswanath Chatterjee, member of the West Bengal Board of Secondary Examinations.The district's socio-economic condition could be a reason for the poor show, academics say. A major percentage of students from the district belong to the tea plantations and tribal dominated areas which are in the midst of turmoil. Several schoolteachers of Jalpaiguri district support the contention. This said, Paramita Chakraborty of Falakata Girls’ School secured 738 marks and is the possible first in the district this year, followed by Iindrila Bhattacharya of Alipurduar New Town Girls’ High School, who secured 734 marks.
