Students study in a graveyard for better scores

Sherghati, Gaya: Students in Sherghati, a town in Bihar's Gaya district, have chosen a graveyard to study, believing that the spirits there will help them to score good marks in their examinations.
Sherghati is located 50 kilometres from the town of Gaya. A majority of the students here say that the peaceful environment of the graveyard motivates them to visit it often, and they add that their concentration levels have improved.
Noor Khan, a student of Standard Eleven, feels that his studying near the graveyard of the Muslim saint, Kamar Ali Sultan, has helped to improve his memory and retention power.
Khan says: "When there are holidays in school and college, we use to come and study here. As and when we come here and study, we grasp things very early, and we get good marks in our examinations. There is divine spirit in the graveyard that helps us in studying and scoring good marks in our exams."
Another student, Munawar Hasan said that his forefathers used to visit this place to study, and he was just following in their footsteps.
“We learn things well and quickly when we sit in the graveyard rather than sitting at any other place," Hasan said.
The Muslim cleric in charge of the graveyard said that the spirit of a saint was helping the students to score well in their examinations.
"Children used to come here and study. There brain works more when they study here without any tutoring," claimed Mohammad Inamul Haque.
