Rohtak: Stung by repeated incidents of candidates using unfair means to clear entrance exams, Haryana govt is now going to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) surveillance for its upcoming teacher eligibility test — a first for the state.
The Haryana Board of School Education has completed all preparations for the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET), scheduled to be held on July 26 and 27. Speaking to the press on Thursday, board chairman Pawan Kumar revealed that over 4.05 lakh candidates will appear for HTET this year, with Gurugram district contributing 42,783 candidates, the highest in the state. "In a significant move towards transparency and fairness, the board has decided to implement an AI-based monitoring system that will track and identify examinees in real time," he said.
As soon as a candidate enters the examination zone, the system will fetch their entire data history. What makes this system more effective is its ability to identify if the same individual appeared in previous exams under a different name. If any such discrepancy is detected, or if a candidate is found to have used unfair means in past examinations, the AI system will flag them immediately.
"The goal is clear: we want a fair and cheating-free examination process," said Pawan Kumar.
"This is why we've taken the bold step of integrating AI into our exam surveillance. It's a first for HTET, and we believe it will set a strong precedent for future exams," he said.
This year, more than 600 examination centres will be established across the state. Each centre will host approximately 310 candidates. The exam will be conducted across three levels: Level 1 (PRT) will see the participation of 82,917 candidates; Level 2 (TGT) will have 2,01,517 candidates; and Level 3 (PGT) will include 1,20,943 candidates.
Chief secy reviews CET preparations
Chandigarh: Haryana chief secretary Anurag Rastogi on Thursday held a meeting with all deputy commissioners and superintendents of police to review preparations for the Common Eligibility Test (CET)expected to be held next month. The test is being conducted for recruitment to group C and D posts in Haryana govt.
The chief secretary emphasised the need to ensure the examination is conducted in a free, fair, smooth, and transparent manner. During the meeting, it was informed that around 13,48,697 applications were received for the CET. HSSC has proposed to hold the examination over two-three days. The chief secretary directed all DCs to begin the process of identifying suitable examination centres in their districts within three days.
He emphasised that centres should be chosen keeping in mind security, logistics, transportation accessibility, and capacity to accommodate candidates.

The Haryana government has constituted the seventh state finance commission, a constitutional entity, to examine and recommend distribution of financial resources between the state government and local self-governing bodies. A notification to this effect was issued on June 27 by chief secretary, Anurag Rastogi. The commission which has been constituted under the provisions of Articles 243-I and 243-Y of the Constitution shall make its report available to the governor by March 31, 2026. Former Haryana chief secretary Sanjeev Kaushal has been appointed as the chairman of the commission and IAS officer Anshaj Singh will serve as its member secretary. The commission which has been constituted under the provisions of Articles 243-I and 243-Y of the Constitution shall make its report available to the governor by March 31, 2026. The report shall cover a period of five years from 2026-27 to 2030-31. An action taken report pertaining to recommendations will be tabled in the state assembly by the state government. The objective of the commission is to make recommendations on key fiscal matters concerning Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), thereby improving decentralised governance and financial autonomy at the grassroots level. Its mandate included recommending principles for the distribution of net proceeds of taxes, duties, tolls, and fees levied by the state between the government and the PRIs—namely, zila parishads, panchayat samitis and gram panchayats. It will also advise on the taxes and fees that may be assigned to or appropriated by these rural local bodies, along with grants-in-aid to them from the consolidated fund of the state. The commission will also suggest measures to strengthen the financial health and revenue-generating capacity of PRIs. The commission will make recommendations regarding the urban local bodies including the distribution of state tax proceeds between the government and municipal bodies, the taxes that may be assigned to municipal bodies, the structure of grants-in-aid to them and the steps needed to bolster their financial sustainability. While making recommendations, the commission will take into account several aspects to ensure fiscal responsibility and equity. These included the need to maintain a balance between the state's receipts and expenditures and to generate sufficient surplus for capital investments. The commission will also assess the overall resource availability of the state government and the various demands on those resources, particularly expenditure related to civic administration, maintenance and upkeep of public infrastructure, recurring costs of plan schemes and other committed financial liabilities. The financial requirements, resource-raising potential, and scope for expenditure rationalisation of the PRIs and municipal bodies will also be evaluated to strengthen their fiscal autonomy and efficiency.

New Delhi [India], June 28 (ANI): The Delhi Police Crime Branch has busted a godown in Uttam Nagar's Jivan Park, where illegal Chinese manja was being stored, as per officials. The police on Friday seized a large quantity of illegal Chinese manja, and the godown owner, identified as Raju, was also arrested. In a separate case, the Delhi Police apprehended Areeb Khan, a supplier of illegal Chinese manja, from the Kamla Market area, where he was reportedly supplying the illegal manja to local shopkeepers. A case has been filed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Sections and the Environment Protection Act in both incidents, stated officials. Meanwhile, on June 14, the Delhi Police Crime Branch dismantled an extortion racket targeting transporters and animal traders operating in the Gazipur Mandi transport area. It has arrested three accused and recovered illegal weapons, including single-shot pistols and live rounds, besides two cars and a scooty which was used to carry out criminal activities. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Harsh Indora stated that the Anti-Gangster Squad (AGS) had been actively working to curb the activities of criminals and extortionists operating in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). As per the Delhi Police release, intelligence inputs indicated that a group led by Pawan Kumar was systematically intimidating and extorting money from transporters and animal traders in the mandi area. Acting on a tip-off about the movement of a criminal from the group identified as Ravinder Kumar, the police laid a trap at Kakrola Nala Road. Ravinder, who was intercepted in a car, was found in possession of an illegal single-shot pistol and one live round. A case under Section 25 of the Arms Act has been registered at the Crime Branch police station. During interrogation, Ravinder Kumar revealed that Pawan Kumar facilitated the distribution of firearms to gang members to carry out extortion activities. Pawan Kumar was subsequently apprehended, and a loaded single-shot pistol was recovered from him. Pawan Kumar confessed to the police of having recruited over eight individuals into his syndicate, tasking them with identifying and intercepting transporters and animal traders along various routes. The extorted money was often collected through online payments from animal traders. According to police, the gang intimidated victims by threatening them with action from an organisation that works to prevent cruelty to animals. The accused also revealed the names and mobile numbers of several victims, who are being traced as part of the investigation. (ANI)
