When Rajnath Singh Proposed Jail For Students Caught Cheating, 3 Decades Ago

Over three decades ago, the Uttar Pradesh government-led by Kalyan Singh too had brought an anti-cheating ordinance in 1991.
The Centre has introduced a new bill to punish those guilty of leaking exam question papers - whether for school exams, college entrance tests, or applications for government jobs.
The new bill will not target students who take exams in good faith. Under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill, only those who leaked exam papers, or tampered with answer sheets, by colluding with government officials will face up to 10 years in jail and fine of Rs 1 crore.
This is not the first time when a bill has been introduced to tackle the cheating menace. Over three decades ago, the Uttar Pradesh government-led by Kalyan Singh too had brought an anti-cheating ordinance in 1991.
