An ideal place for study

Exam fever: A student preparing for his exams in the vast expanse of the aerodrome in Adilabad.

ADILABAD: Of late, Adilabad’s aerodrome, with is vast expanse and quiet surroundings, is being preferred by students to prepare for exams.

“Concentration is the most crucial aspect for serious exam preparation. Away from the noise of the town, the large ground seems to be an ideal place for students to study without losing concentration,” Laxma Reddy, Regional Joint Director (RJD), School Education, Warangal, and in-charge District Educational Officer, Adilabad, said. The number of students from rural areas, including tribals studying in schools in Adilabad town, matches the number of local students.

By studying in the secluded open spaces of the aerodrome, the former have set a trend of sorts. The aerodrome is close to localities like New Ganeshnagar, New Kummariwada, College Colony, etc. These localities have a concentration of student-managed hostels for tribals. Besides, scores of students stay in rented houses in these localities that are no better than slums.

“I found a lot of disturbance in our locality. This ground is big and away from the hustle and bustle of the people and is ideal for for students like us to prepare for exams,” explains Ramesh Rathod, an Intermediate student from Nagarkurnool village in Narnoor mandal.

However, the scorching summer heat cuts down the time that can be spent in the aerodrome by students. “It is only around 6 p.m. that we can go there after the sun goes down. During daytime, we just cannot imagine coming here, leave alone sitting down and preparing for exams,” said Jadhav Ramu, a day scholar from New Kummariwada.
