PM Modi Forms Nandan Nilekani-Led Task Force to Recommend Examination ReformsPreviousNext

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the formation of a high-powered task force led by Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani to recommend reforms for India's examination system. The panel, including experts from technology, space, security, and education, aims to make exams more transparent, reliable, and technology-driven, addressing concerns over paper leaks and irregularities. The government has taken legal action against those involved and plans to introduce stricter laws. Opposition voices criticized the move as reactive and questioned implementation of past recommendations. The task force's report will guide future reforms to restore trust in the examination process.
