'Pictures of cheating don’t reflect reality'

Pat, March 20: Pictures carried by the media showing mass copying and cheating in school examitions don’t reflect the reality in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said on Friday. The pictures “do not show the entire story of the state”, Nitish said in a Facebook post.  “Students of Bihar are brilliant and have set an example in the country. A student progresses in life with his capability, not because of certificates,” he said.

Nitish Kumar said the authorities had been told to be responsible so that there was no cheating in examitions. He also urged parents to tell their children not to cheat.  “I urge parents, relatives and friends who help the students in cheating that you are ruining the future of the students as well as Bihar,” Nitish Kumar said.
