Academic initiative ‘Vijayapatham’ was launched to enhance the performance of students in KGBV

Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBV) across Andhra Pradesh have unveiled a comprehensive academic action plan titled ‘Vijayapatham’ for the academic year 2026-27 to improve learning outcomes and excel in public examinations.

Launched under the slogan ‘Learning is the goal – Success is the goal’, the program aims to ensure 100% pass rate, increase the number of students who score more than 590 marks and improve the overall ranking. “The initiative focuses on systematic study plans, continuous assessment and close monitoring of student progress,” said KGBV Secretary D. Devananda Reddy.

Speaking to The Hindu on Sunday, Mr Reddy said that as part of the plan, students will follow a structured daily schedule that includes five hours of supervised study, regular classes, self-study periods and three dedicated study sessions monitored by teachers. “Daily schedules have been designed to balance academic rigor with adequate breaks and personal time,” he explained.

To boost exam preparation, weekly grand tests will be held every Monday for students of class X and intermediate, covering one subject for 100 marks each, while students of classes VI to IX will appear for similar tests every Tuesday, he said. He added that the examination papers will be evaluated within three days and the marks will be recorded in a special ‘Vijayapatham register’ for continuous monitoring.

In addition to the major tests, daily slide tests will be conducted on all weekdays except test days. There will be at least three slip tests per subject every month for students of class X and intermediate and students of classes VI to IX will undergo at least two slip tests and four dictation exercises per subject every month. “Teachers on night duty will conduct these assessments based on the topics covered during the guided study sessions,” he informed.

A key feature of the initiative is the weekly performance analysis of students, said Mr. Reddy, Based on the evaluation results, students will be placed in four categories Unnati (90-100%), Pragati (65-90%), Deepti (40-65%) and Spoorthi (below 40%). Students who need improvement will be given special attention, additional counseling and targeted academic support, he said.

Mr. Reddy said the program will be implemented in 352 KGBVs across the state to create a disciplined academic environment, strengthen core learning and ensure that every student receives the support needed to achieve academic success. “The aim is to use the Vijayapathham initiative as an effective tool to enhance the quality of education and conduct of examinations in KGBVs across the state during the new academic year,” said Mr. Reddy.
