The move aims to ensure the smooth functioning of the schools during the academic year. The process will help the department conduct classes hassle-free without any disturbance to students related to teaching aspects. The district bagged the 27th rank in the SSLC results. This year, the department had made all plans to improve the SSLC results and focus on public exams for 8th class students by giving special attention to guest teacher recruitment. As many as 178 guest teacher posts were vacant in high schools in 2025-26, including 664 in primary schools. The state govt permitted guest teachers for high schools on priority as teachers must prepare their students for public exams.

It is often believed that no obstacle is too big to overcome with real commitment and hard work. Damini Singh Brar, a 26-year-old, from Sanjauli, a small town near Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, demonstrates this belief. Damini Singh Brar has been able to overcome every hurdle because of her consistent focus to accomplish and work ethic that has allowed her dreams to become a reality while re-defining the meaning of academic success. Damini's commitment and innumerable hours of preparation enabled her not only to clear one of the most prestigious and difficult PhD entrance exams in the country, but to be at the top. She achieved All India Rank 1 in the PhD (Psychology) entrance at IIT Kanpur. Along with it, she also topped the PhD entrance exam of another leading institution in India, IIT Delhi. Damini topped the PhD entrance exam in Psychology at IIT Kanpur, claiming the All India Rank 1, as well as being ranked first in the PhD entrance exam at IIT Delhi. She has now decided to pursue a PhD at IIT Delhi, one of India's top institutes. But there's more! Damini also cleared (written exam) the test for PhD admissions for NIMHANS, Bengaluru and was invited for the interview. Earlier in 2024, she cleared the UGC-NET exam in Psychology in her first attempt, and this adds to her stack of achievements. You may find it hard to believe, but Damini was able to clear all such tough exams on her own and without coaching classes. She studied diligently through self-study, without attending any coaching classes. After hearing about her accomplishments, it's clear how brilliant she is academically. She was always an exceptional student. Damini does not just hold this status as an exceptional college graduate. She achieved her schooling as a top student in Shimla, then continued that as a topper in her Class 12 board exam. She consistently performed well from a very young age. After completing Class 12, Damini enrolled in Lady Shri Ram College for graduation in English Honours, which is one of the well-known colleges affiliated with Delhi University (DU). After that, she went on to complete her Master's in Applied Psychology from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Mumbai, which is one of India's leading institutes in the field of social sciences. It's important to notice that Damini comes from a poor family background. Her father Rajneesh Brar is a Sanitary Inspector with the Shimla Municipal Corporation, and her mother Meera Brar is a homemaker. Despite being from a poor family background, with few resources, she has made her family and hometown proud through her own hard work and effort. Everything she has achieved has been through her own doing. Today, Damini is an inspiration for millions of students in the country.
