New Delhi, Mar 28: The Central Board of Secondary Education has cancelled board examinations for mathematics paper of Class X and economics paper for Class XII.

A notification in this regard was issued by the board on Wednesday, following reports about the leakage of the question papers of the two subjects.

The board said that it will re-conduct the examinations for the two subjects and the dates will be announced "within a week."

While the Mathematics examinations for Class X was scheduled to be held at more than 17,000 centres across the country on Wednesday, the examinations for Economics paper of Class XII was held at more than 11,000 centres on March 26 (Monday).

The paper leak in the two subjects has affected about 20 lakh students across the country.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, meanwhile, spoke to Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar and expressed his displeasure with the CBSE's failure in maintaining the sanctity of the board examinations.

"The board has taken cognisance of certain happenings in the conduct of certain examinations as are bring reported. With the view to uphold the sanctity of the board examinations and in the interest of the fairness to the students, the board has decided to re-conduct the examinations in the two subjects (sic)," the board said issuing a notification on Wednesday.

The CBSE had rubbished the reports about the Class XII Economics paper leak when claims in this regard surfaced on various social media sites on Monday.

"We have checked with all examination centres and the paper was not leaked. The source of the circulation of this information is not known yet," a section of the media had quoted an unnamed official of the CBSE as saying, in response to the claims.

Earlier this month, there were also reports about the Accountancy paper leak but the board came up with a statement denying it.

The board, however, stated in a statement that it will lodge an FIR.

"Some miscreants have tried to play mischief by circulating messages through WhatsApp and other social media to disturb the sanctity of examinations," it also said, refusing to accept that there was any case of Accountancy paper leak.

A special team of the Delhi Police, constituted to probe into the reports of the paper leaks, has got "some vital leads," Javadekar later told reporters during a press conference at the BJP's headquarters.

Though he refused to elaborate further, he said police investigation has reached "a very advanced stage."

"I hope those involved in the paper leaks are soon arrested. Strictest action will be taken against them," Javadekar added.

When Whole Country is standing on line during demonitisation Our PM goes to Japan and Laughs on People. And there are lot of example for this Government

United Nations, Jun 6: The COVID-19 pandemic, which has presented challenges for several nations, could be an “opportunity” for India to speed up the health insurance scheme Ayushman Bharat, especially with a focus on primary healthcare, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said.

WHO Director-General Ghebreyesus was responding to a question on the COVID-19 situation in India, where the number of coronavirus cases are increasing rapidly. India went past Italy on Friday to become the sixth worst-hit nation by the COVID-19 pandemic.

India saw a record single-day jump of 9,887 coronavirus cases and 294 deaths on Saturday, pushing the nationwide infection tally to 2,36,657 and the death toll to 6,642, according to the health ministry.

"Of course COVID is very unfortunate and it's challenging for many nations but we need to look for opportunities too. For instance for India, this could be an opportunity to speed up Ayushman Bharat, especially with a focus on primary health care. I know there is a very strong commitment from the government to speed up the implementation of Ayushman Bharat and with primary healthcare and community engagement, I think we can really turn the tide,” Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing in Geneva on Friday.

Ayushman Bharat is the world’s largest health insurance scheme and was launched by the Narendra Modi government in 2018. Last month, Modi had said that the number of people who have benefited from the scheme crossed the one crore-mark.

The scheme aims to cover more than 500 million beneficiaries and provide coverage of Rs 500,000 per family per year.

Referring to the Ayushman Bharat scheme, Ghebreyesus added that “using and speeding up what has started could actually help in India and that's what WHO was very appreciative by the way when Ayushman Bharat started. And this could be a very good opportunity actually to test that and speed up and use it to really fight this pandemic.”
