In an effort to curb copying during Haryana School Education Board examinations, the Education Department has roped in newly elected educated and young members of Panchayati Raj Institutions to get rid of the menace.

A day before, Haryana Education Minister Ram Bilas Sharma had said that with a view to make Haryana School Education Board examinations free from the menace of copying, help of newly elected educated and young members of Panchayati Raj Institutions has been sought.

The Minister had also directed the District Education Officers to constitute committees of newly elected young members of Panchayati Raj Institutions and intellectuals to remain present  outside the examination centres during the examinations and make people aware about the evil of cheating in examinations.
