The Congress Working Committee has directed Chief Ministers of Congress-ruled states to submit comprehensive reports on education and examination system reforms within one month. The directive, issued by party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi, aims to address youth unrest regarding recruitment scandals and academic loopholes. Chief Ministers from Karnataka, Telangana, Kerala, and Himachal Pradesh must consult with academic experts and student organisations to develop state-specific plans. Additionally, the party plans to expand its 'Chhatron ki Goonj' outreach programme to nearly 800 cities and towns across India.
