"After the first newspaper appeared in October last, there is a craze among students to get their articles published in newspapers. The panel of editors, which has been flooded with poems, stories, jokes, essays and craft samples, decides which stories will make it to page one or will be dropped," said Farhana Afzal , a teacher. Each panel of editors comprises 10 teachers and five students. Another teacher Ruksana Begum said, "We have decided to start monthly newspapers to inculcate reading habit among students. Now, students read textbooks, newspapers and magazines for making contributions to newspapers. Besides, students whose articles are not published work hard to make it to the next edition."Assistant block resource coordinator (ABRC) Anil Chaubey said, "All issues brought out since October would be inaugurated in the presence of senior officials of the department.."
