Ernakulam district might soon become the first district in Kerala to have all citizens aged between 17 and 35 years to clear Class 10 examination. A futuristic mission in the name of ‘Youth@10’ is currently underway to make sure that the district achieves 100 per cent success rate in clearing Class 10 examination by the year 2013. This venture is organized by the District Literacy Mission, Kakkanad and the district panchayat and is the first of its kind in Kerala.
There is no special fund allocated for the purpose, but the authorities believe that it could be implemented effectively provided all the local bodies consider it as their own project. The mission has also not invited special applications for the Youth@10 programme. The district panchayat is giving its full support to the District Literacy Mission to execute the project. The authorities are also much confident of completing the project by 2013 and also believe to be a better platform for those who are lagging behind in the need of proper education.
The project was initiated on May 19 and has already finished with the registration procedures.
