According to CHSE Chairman Mrunal Kanti Das, special vehicles were used to transport the question papers to remote regions from the council headquarters. A total of 14 vehicles were sent to different districts today, while 13 more will be deployed tomorrow.

This year, 211 examination management hubs have been set up across the State. The exams will be conducted at 1,357 centres across 1,909 higher secondary schools, with a total of 4,01,623 students scheduled to appear in the annual exam this year.

The Plus II examination will be held from February 18 to March 28.

In a first, AI-powered camera systems have been introduced to strengthen monitoring and ensure fair conduct of the examinations, the CHSE chairman informed.

“Elaborate arrangements have been made for vehicles to travel on 27 routes. Today and tomorrow, these vehicles will carry question papers to various examination centres. AI camera systems have been installed everywhere, and if any suspicious activity is noticed, appropriate action will be taken. This is because CHSE has opened a command centre this time,” Chairman Das expressed.

“Furthermore, for the first time, GPS has been installed in all the vehicles transporting the question papers. This allows us to track their movements and monitor where they are heading. Today, we are dispatching at least 14 vehicles, and the remaining 13 will be sent tomorrow. Among the 14 vehicles being sent today, we have primarily focused on remote districts such as Rayagada, Koraput, Nabarangpur, and Kalahandi,” the CHSE Chairman said.
