Rahul Gandhi Criticizes India's Education System as Exclusionary, Targets ModiPreviousNext

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized India's education system as an 'exclusion system' that marginalizes youth lacking money, power, or English proficiency. Speaking during his 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' initiative and student interactions, he accused the system of certifying people unfairly and called for change. Gandhi also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, using the nickname 'Mogambo Modi' and urging students to unite against him. Some coverage highlights concerns over the National Education Policy's impact on student access to higher education.
