Congress leader Rahul Gandhi praised 18-year-old Sarthak Sidhant and Nisarga for exposing alleged irregularities in CBSE's On-Screen Marking system. Calling it a victory of youth, Gandhi said the students uncovered issues others failed to detect. The Centre has since ordered an inquiry into the procurement-related aspects of the OSM system.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi praised 18-year-old Sarthak Sidhant and his partner Nisarga for exposing alleged collusion between the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the service provider COEMPT, calling their efforts a victory of youth and a "defeat" for the government.
Sarthak, who raised concerns over discrepancies in the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system used in CBSE Class 12 examinations, managed to bring issues to light that, according to Gandhi, major media houses and investigative journalists failed to uncover.
In a post shared on X, Gandhi wrote, "Sarthak is 18 years old - but in thought, courage, and principles, second to none. He and his partner Nisarga did what the country's big media houses and investigative journalists couldn't - they exposed the collusion between CBSE and COEMPT to the nation."
