,
,The ST & SC Development Department, Government of Odisha has introduced an innovative
education programme for the students appearing in +2 Science and Commerce examination
pursuing studies in the ST & SC Development Department Schools (EMRS & HSS) to ensure
quality education at +2 level. In this regard it is to mention that an Academic Performance
Monitoring Cell (APMC) has been set up in SCSTRTI to monitor the Training and Capacity
Building of Teachers of SSD Higher Secondary Schools and Ekalavya Model Residential
Schools (EMRS) to enhance quality education for better performance of the students
appearing +2 Science and Commerce examination.
Since March 2020 due to Covid-19 Pandemic Situation, the state government has closed all
the HSS & EMRS and online classes were going on. The CBSE & CHSE Board were unable to
conduct the offline examinations in 2020 and 2021. Since a few months, offline classes are
going on. To combat the situation, the CBSE & CHSE Boards have introduced alternate
comprehensive examination patterns such as 1st and 2nd Term End Examinations and Quarter
End Examinations etc. to be operative from 2021-22 academic session. Accordingly the
Question patterns have completely being changed by both Boards.
To face this situation, the APMC has designed Workbook-Cum-Question Bank with Answers
as per the new direction of the Boards. The best of subject experts have been roped to
formulate self-contained and self-explanatory “Workbook-Cum-Question Bank with
Answers” as per the new pattern of examinations of CHSE & CBSE Boards. They have tried to
make the material as far as activity based and solution based as feasible.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Prof. (Dr.) A. B. Ota, Advisor-Cum-Director and
Special Secretary, SCSTRTI. I would also like to thank Dr. S. C. Das, SLPM, APMC and the team of
subject experts for their sincere effort in bringing out the Question Bank in a very short time.
The Workbook-Cum-Question Bank with Answers will cater to the needs of students during
this pandemic situation and will be extremely useful for students of Science and Commerce of
CBSE and CHSE to face the new pattern of examination, as these are designed accordingly.
