VIJAYASREE [ document] An Educational Project of District Panchayath, Palakkad 1. Programme vision, goals and Objectives Palakkad revenue district , among other 14 districts in Kerla State, has been lagging behind in almost all social scenario such as economic, educational & ethnic realms. The developmental activities in different areas to address the issues have brought forth remarkable transformation in many social segments.

The SSLC result, which is considered as a basic scholastic record , has significantly improved by attaining 92.6 % in the district, last year. Three decades ago, only 33% students in the SSLC classes were eligible for higher studies.
