According to the Chief Minister’s Office of Chhattisgarh, question papers were transported to an exam center via helicopter in a remote tribal village.
Question papers for the state board exam for classes 10 and 12 have been sent to Jagargunda village in Sukma, Chhattisgarh, which is about 400 km from the state capital Raipur. The exam is scheduled to start tomorrow.

In our state of Chhattisgarh, the welfare of the next generation comes first. Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai expressed gratitude for the district administration’s efforts and said that the initiative taken for the bright future of the children in tribal areas is commendable in a post on X (previously Twitter).

“No child should be denied access to a quality education. The Chief Minister’s office stated, “The Chhattisgarh government is committed to the better future of children.”

Officials received assistance from paramilitary personnel in unloading the question papers after the helicopter made an open landing.

The Chhattisgarh government recently made the decision to hold the state board exams for both Classes 10 and 12 twice during the same academic year. The Department of School Education made the announcement about the decision. The education department stated that the first round of the final board exams will take place in March, and the second phase will take place in July, even though the academic year for the implementation of the two exams has not yet been finalized.

In accordance with the new education policy, the Centre announced significant changes to the educational system in August last year. The Ministry of Education had announced that there would be two annual board exams, with the top scores being retained by the students.
Examiners will evaluate the comprehension and accomplishment of competencies rather than concentrating on a student’s memorization skills.
