Taking a swipe at Kesco officials, a BCom second year student Anu Bindra remarks, "with candle in one hand and books in other - this is how the future of the country is groomed and nurtured. The power distribution company employees are wanting to test the city student under the toughest of conditions."
Expressing anguish Anu, the Christ Church student is among lakhs of city students, deprived of proper exam preparations due to unabated power rostering in the city.
With not more than 15 days left for the commencement of university and board examinations, majority of the students are toiling in want of proper power supply, which is not only taking toll of their exam preparations but also of the mental frame.
Notably, a total of 1,12, 729 students are appearing for high school and intermediate exams from the Kanpur district. Over 5.5 lakh students would be appearing in university exams and the strength of the students appearing in ICSE and CBSE board exams is even higher. And as the power failure is playing a spoilsport amidst their preparations, students are left with no option but to curse the Kesco officials and the local leaders.
As city student, Nishant Kapoor quipped, "where are the political leaders now who regard youth as the future of the country. At the time of elections, they assure provision of 24 hour power supply and now, when we require their help, the most, they have vanished in the thin air, and when not required they are busy in protests and demonstration."
Candles, invertors and lanterns are serving as the substitute of power supply during the night hours. The students are relying upon candle lights during the evening hours to save power back up in invertors, as the invertors do not last for the entire night, leaving the student in an awkward position.
Charu Garodiya, a board examinee feels that students during the examination period are on a loss from the either side. "for all those students to be appearing in board exams, how to study during night hours is a big question. The preparations as such gets hampered, if we plan to study in night hours, and if we think of taking a nap, we would be deprived of a sound sleep." The students are in a loss.
Another class XII student and board examinee, Ravi Pandey has his reason for worry about his exam preparations. "Night hours are the best period to study but with no power supply the job is made a tough one," opined this 17-year-old student. And he went on to add, "Day time as such is full of noise, but the night hours there is no disturbance apart from the night rostering," he said.
Not only the students but even their parents are a harried lot. Vivek Upadhyay's son would be undergoing his university exams, but the entire family members are making best possible efforts to help the child.
"Even during the hot afternoon hours, we do not use invertor," he said and added, "even during the night hours family members avoid use of fan so that my son can get electricity for five to six hours during the night." Meanwhile he advised, the parents of wards appearing in exams to hold Kesco responsible if the result failed to meet their expectations.
