Speaking to the media persons at the temporary office of DESAM at Sagolband Moirang Leirak, Nameirakpam Edison Meitei, Secretary General of DESAM said that few years back we have observed the use of unfair means in many ways but recently a new trend of using unfair means have appeared where the exam authority or invigilator helping the students by providing written answer scripts and answer booklets which is very unfortunate.
Concern authority of the exam centre, invigilator and school authority should look into this matter seriously for clean and fair exams, he added.
Seeking for co-operation from exam centre authority, school principle and invigilators, Edison also said that a team of DESAM has already prepared to undergo drive against use of unfair means in each exam centre.
During the drive, any found to be using unfair means or helping the students, DESAM will take up necessary actions with the help of concern authority and will even flash their names to the public.
To avoid such consequences, DESAM appeal the concern to conduct a fair and clean examination, Edison asserts.
Edison further urges the state government to put up only two days holiday for the coming YAOSHANG festival which celebrates for five days every year from this year. Schools are requested to open from the third day as celebrating for five days is wasting of time and even the situation of the state is in the unstable condition, he added.
