Unfortunately the scheme seems to be not so successful as the result of the 10th class students was miserably bad. However the authority is still hopeful as the overall result from 2013 to 2016 has shown increasing graph. That is the students are doing better than previous years. It is expected that after new circular and regrouping process reading and writing skill of the students shall get better in future.
However some of the educationists said that children should not be categorised on the basis of limited book reading or so. By doing so, they will violet the rules of Right to Education Act.
