School board appoints nodal officers in all districts
In a bid to ensure cheating-free exams, the Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) has appointed nodal officers in all districts to oversee real-time reports and implement measures to prevent malpractices.
“We have implemented a foolproof system to curb cheating during the exams. There are three major points of focus: zero tolerance for paper leaks; no crowds will be allowed outside centres; a ban on cheating will be enforced. Nodal officers are expected to act as torchbearers to ensure that any irregularities are immediately reported and addressed,” said Dr Munish Nagpal, BSEH Secretary.
The decision to appoint the nodal officers was taken at a meeting held by the Secretary with the BSEH's Deputy Secretaries and Assistant Secretaries in Bhiwani today.
“The nodal officers will stay in the allotted districts till the completion of the exams and will submit a report daily after monitoring the situation. If a crowd is seen outside a centre, a record should be prepared and sent so that the centre can be cancelled with immediate effect,” said Nagpal.
He said flying squads had been deployed with route charts in all 22 districts. “Each flying squad will inspect about six centres. They will have to send photographs of the initial centre to the nodal officer, who will submit a report to the higher authorities,” he said, adding that district-wise WhatsApp groups of flying squads and nodal officers should be created with immediate effect so that information could be shared on it.
