Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday congratulated the girl students, who performed well in the SSC examination this year.

Hailing the students, who achieved an 82.01 pass percentage against boys (81.27 pc) in the state, the TDP leader said the schemes introduced by the TDP regime for encouraging girls were paying rich dividends.

He recalled the TDP had introduced free bicycle scheme and free bus passes to reduce the dropout rate particularly among the girls.

A press note issued by TDP said Naidu personally congratulated the girls—Hemanjali (593), Puja (589), Nagadivyasri (589), Gayatri (588) and Sahiti (587)--  who scored highest marks in the SSC examinations.

He also said those who failed in the examinations should work hard until they achieve their target.
