VIRUDHUNAGAR, DECEMBER 28, 2018 00:00 IST
Virudhunagar district has made a significant leap in Delta ranking among the aspirational districts across the country by jumping to number one slot from being ranked 10th in the first Delta ranking released in June.
Among the 111 aspirational districts, Virudhunagar has achieved first rank in the overall ranking, and two out of total six themes -- education and basic infrastructure. The project under NITI Ayog was based on household surveys conducted in aspirational districts in June covering more than one lakh households.
In education, the district has improved its results in learning outcome with a concerted effort taken by the district administration along with Department of School Education.
“We gave training to teachers through Block Resource Teachers on the art of questioning. Instead of going by book-back questions for examinations conducted for all classes from 1 to 8, we followed a teaching method where students understand questions, analysis them and applies it during examinations,” Chief Educational Officer, R. Swaminathan, said. Though under the aspirational districts, only performances of students of classes 3, 5 and 8 students in Mathematics and Tamil were taken up for ranking, the Department of Education has applied it to all classes from 1 to 8 and for all three subjects and two languages. The entire classroom teaching underwent a change from just teaching subjects to make the students understand the concepts. On basic infrastructure, the district administration concentrated on expeditious implemention of various infrastructure works like providing electricity connections to all houses, providing internet connectivity in rural areas, completing rural roads under Prime Minister's Rural Road Scheme.
Besides, attention was given to increase the number of individual household toilets, providing potable water in rural and urban areas. Efforts were put in converting kuchcha houses into pucca houses under Prime Minister's Housing Scheme. First five ranks on six factors that were aimed at socio-economic development were released by NITI Ayog. The ranking of the district on other four factors were not known, a source said.
