MP Board Tragedy: Class 10 Student Dies of Suspected Heart Attack During Exam in Morena

 In a heartbreaking incident that has sent shockwaves through the education community, a Class 10 student passed away on Tuesday after collapsing during her MP Board exam in Morena. The student, identified as Varsha Kushwah, was appearing for her mathematics paper when the tragic event occurred at the Pandit Nehru Part Two College examination centre.

While the loss has left the family in a state of disbelief, preliminary medical observations suggest a worrying link between chronic health issues and the sudden fatal episode.

Incident at the Examination Centre

Varsha, a student of St. Paul School, had arrived at the Banmour-based examination centre appearing healthy and composed. According to her uncle, Avdhesh Kushwah, her father had dropped her off in the morning, and there were no visible signs of distress.

However, mid-way through the paper, Varsha fainted and collapsed at her desk. School staff and invigilators rushed to her aid, attempting to revive her by rubbing her hands and feet before immediately alerting her family. Despite being rushed to a local hospital and subsequently to Jayarogya Hospital in Gwalior, doctors declared her brought dead.

Medical Concerns: Malnutrition and Anemia

While the official post-mortem report is still awaited, Morena Collector Lokesh Kumar Jangid has provided initial insights into the MP Board exam student death.

Speaking to the press, Jangid noted that preliminary discussions with doctors in Gwalior pointed toward severe underlying health conditions.

• Severe Malnutrition: The student was reportedly struggling with significant nutritional deficiencies.

• Acute Anemia: A low red blood cell count may have put undue strain on her cardiovascular system.

• Cardiac Arrest: It is suspected that the combination of physical weakness and the high-pressure environment of a board exam may have triggered a Morena student heart attack.

"The student's death is extremely unfortunate," Collector Jangid stated. "We are waiting for the final post-mortem report to confirm the exact cause of death."

A Growing Concern for Student Health

This tragic incident highlights a critical intersection between student health and academic pressure in the Class 10 board exam news cycle. Medical experts suggest that while "exam stress" is often blamed for such collapses, underlying conditions like MP student malnutrition can make young bodies far more vulnerable to sudden cardiac events.

Key Takeaways for Parents and Schools:

• Health Screenings: Regular check-ups for anemia and nutritional deficiencies are vital for adolescent students.

• Stress Management: Creating a supportive environment during board exams can help mitigate physical symptoms of anxiety.

• Emergency Readiness: The quick response of the Banmour school staff shows the importance of having medical protocols in place at exam centres.

The local police have initiated an investigation, and the community remains in mourning for Varsha. As the MP Board examinations continue, this tragedy serves as a somber reminder that a student's physical well-being is just as important as their academic preparation.
