Total failure of CBSE and HRD ministry

The future of about 28 lakh students depends on the functioning of Central Board of Education (CBSE) as it conducts their 10th and 12th class examinations. Students put in hard labour into their preparation for the examination. But the board which conducts it behaves and functions so irresponsibly that the education mafia gangs get the question paper leaked. What were CBSE, HRD Ministry and the Govt. of India doing when the issue of examination involved the future of about 28 lakh students? When sordid incident of question paper leaks was in the knowledge of CBSE one day before the examination itself, why did it not act then and there? Is there a government in place in the country or not? HRD Minister Praksh Javedkar has completely failed to act in time. He must take moral responsibility and resign from the post immediately. On the one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gives tips to the students how to cope with examination tension through his book Examination Warrior and his HRD Ministry and CBSE act in such a way as to create tension for them on the other. CBSE is considered to be one of the most prestigious examination boards in the country. But it is perhaps for the first time in recent years that the CBSE 10th class Mathematics paper questions and 12th class economics paper questions were leaked despite the claim of full proof security. After the admission of question leaks of 10th Class Mathematics and 12th Class economics by the CBSE, it has cancelled the examinations of these two papers. CBSE question leaks reflect that education mafia is active and the CBSE Board and HRD Ministry are inactive. The students are traumatized, dejected and depressed for no fault of theirs. The number of students appearing at the CBSE board examinations of class 10th and 12th together is more than 25 lakhs. It means the cancellation of examinations by CBSE causes the adverse impact on their future. If the question leaks and other malpractices in the examination are not stopped immediately, the future of the country will be destroyed. The incident of CBSE question leaks has happened despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi had himself given tips in detail how to face the examination without any tension to the boys and girls of class 10th and 12th only last month. Though he has taken the issue of CBSE question paper leaks very seriously and instructed the Union Human Resources Minister to act immediately to plug all loopholes, the loss of confidence and precious time of students has already been inflicted. HRD ministry and CBSE must ensure that there would be no question paper leak in future to restore the confidence of crores of students in the examination system. Otherwise, the future is doomed to fail.
