Ranchi, Jharkhand – Candidates appearing for the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand State Service Commission (JSSC) exams received food packets this month from several contributors. Prominent Congress leader Mr. Rajesh Kumar personally arranged the delivery of 150 packets containing staple meals and nutritious snacks.

The packets include pulses, rice, chocolate, and energy bars designed to maintain students' dietary needs during intensive preparation. Alongside, Jharkhand’s Department of Social Welfare and multiple NGOs distributed similar kits, reaching approximately 800 candidates in total.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that adequate nutrition directly impacts cognitive performance, especially during high‑stress examinations like JPSC‑JSSC. By ensuring that candidates receive balanced meals, the initiative aims to level the playing field for students from economically weaker sections.

"Nutritional deficiencies can adversely affect exam outcomes, making such distribution crucial," says nutritionist Dr. Anita Singh.

Local authorities stated that this assistance will continue post‑examination, with special health check‑ups planned for candidates. The move underscores a commitment to social equity and the right to education.
