Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi praised the establishment of a high-powered Task Force for examination reforms, hailing it as a significant move towards a more transparent and secure education system aligned with the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’. The Chief Minister emphasized that the well-being of India’s students has always been a top priority for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Expressing his support for the initiative led by Shri Nandan Nilekani, CM Majhi highlighted the commitment to upholding merit, integrity, and excellence in the examination system. He described the formation of the Task Force as a pivotal step that would enhance students’ trust and contribute to building a robust and future-ready education environment in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently announced the establishment of a task force on exam reforms under the leadership of Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani. The Prime Minister emphasized that the task force’s recommendations would play a crucial role in ensuring the credibility of future examinations. The decision to involve Nilekani, known for his work on Aadhaar, followed student protests over alleged paper leaks and the subsequent resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The task force, besides Nandan Nilekani, comprises notable figures such as former ISRO Chairman S. Somnath, former IB Director Tapan Deka, IIT Chennai Director V. Kamakoti, former Education Secretary Anita Karwal, and Logistics Expert Amrit Lal Meena. PM Modi underscored that the task force’s primary focus would be on examination reforms, with its recommendations guiding efforts to enhance the credibility of upcoming exams promptly.
