Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Education System, Calls for Reform Amid Corruption AllegationsPreviousNext

Rahul Gandhi criticized India's education system as a 'dishonest extortion mechanism' that burdens students and families with debt, stress, and shattered dreams. He accused corruption, including a 'paper leak mafia,' of undermining students' efforts and alleged that the Modi government and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan have remained silent and unaccountable. Gandhi called for a revolution in education and invited students to join his initiative 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' to address these issues.
