Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday announced that the government has set up a high-powered task force on exam reforms under technology expert and Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani.
The announcement comes a day after the Centre accepted all demands laid by the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) who organised protests over NEET paper leak, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and withdrawal of FIRs against protesters.
Sharing a video message on social media channels, the prime minister also asserted that the accused who messed with future of students are in jail.
"The Government of India is continuously taking various measures for the future of students. Those who tampered with the students' future are languishing in jail. We have already established fast-track courts. We are also moving towards enacting new legislation in Parliament that incorporates stringent legal provisions. However, we must look to the future. Our examination system needs to be reliable and transparent, and it must make maximum use of technology," he said.
"To address these concerns, a high-powered task force—comprising world-renowned technology expert Nandan Nilekani—is set to be constituted to focus on examination reforms and ensure the integrity of upcoming examinations based on its recommendations," he added.
