Misuse malady: Haryana govt to keep tabs on tabs
Hindustan TimesAlarmed over reports of Class 10 and 12 students misusing the e-tablets allotted to them, the Haryana government has decided to enlist the services of final-year tech students to examine the devices. The Haryana government, in 2022, had implemented its ambitious e-Adhigam scheme and distributed e-tablets to over five lakh students of Classes 10 and 12 in government schools. The state government, in 2022, had implemented its ambitious e-Adhigam scheme at a cost of ₹620 crore and distributed e-tablets to over five lakh students of Classes 10 and 12 in Haryana’s government schools. The apparent solution is to limit internet access to the tablets,” said a senior official, adding that the government doesn’t have data on the number of students who have breached the MDM security walls. Considering the seriousness of the matter, chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar held a review meeting on August 4 in which in-principle decision was taken to involve final-year students of Haryana-based government technical colleges pursuing computer or electronic courses to inspect the tablets.
