In the initial phase, Chopra interacted with school heads, teachers, and students to discuss measures for eradicating cheating and invited suggestions. He assured the valuable suggestions shared during these sessions would be implemented in the upcoming examinations.

The Secretary said social groups also have a critical role in supporting this initiative. He directed school administrators to install CCTV cameras at examination centres and ensure pre-board exams were conducted without any malpractice so that students became well-prepared for the final exams.

Chopra stressed the importance of transparency and hard work in achieving success. He stated that over the past decade, government job recruitments have become more transparent and only the students who study diligently were succeeding in clearing the exams. “Our primary goal must be to conduct exams without cheating as it hinders mental development,” Chopra said.

In addition to curbing cheating, the campaign also focuses on creating drug-free schools and students. Chopra urged school leaders and teachers to ensure a smoke-free environment around campuses and educated students about the harmful effects of substance abuse. He also encouraged teachers to discuss the issue seriously during parent-teacher meetings and contribute to eliminating such societal evils.
