Updated on: Monday, February 20, 2012

In a bid to check copying in the secondary and higher-secondary board examinations scheduled next month, Chhattisgarh government has decided to set up squads at district level for carrying out inspections.

Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education has intimated all the district collectors, assistant commissioners to tribal development departments and education officers about the squads.

The secondary and higher secondary board examinations for Class 10 and Class 12 will be held between March 1 and March 29.

A circular by the state board has said that a nodal officer of the rank of joint collector or deputy collector will be appointed and he will report to the concerned district collector.

In total, seven squads will be formed to monitor the examination process at the zonal level. Among other measures being mulled are shifting the flying squad working in a particular zone after every three days during the course of examination.

Janjgir Champa district is notorious for instances of copying, both individual and mass copying. In 2008, a Class XII student had topped the merit list but it later came to light that he achieved the fete by copying.

The state government had charged 18 persons, including principal and teachers of the child's school in this connection.
