Congress MLA Jayavardhan Singh has raised concerns over the school‑education figures presented in Madhya Pradesh’s ‘Development and Service 2‑year’ booklet, questioning the inclusion of laptop‑scooter beneficiaries despite pending exam results.
Congress legislator Jayavardhan Singh publicly challenged the accuracy of school‑education statistics featured in Madhya Pradesh’s recent two‑year development report. He pointed out that the booklet lists beneficiaries of a laptop‑scooter scheme even though the academic results for those students have not yet been declared, suggesting a mismatch between reported outcomes and actual performance.
The MLA argued that such discrepancies could mislead policymakers and the public about the true impact of government initiatives aimed at improving digital access for schoolchildren. He urged the state education department to revise the figures and provide a transparent methodology for counting beneficiaries.
Officials from the state’s education ministry have not yet issued a detailed response, but the issue adds to ongoing scrutiny of data presented in government publications ahead of upcoming budget reviews.
