At the ‘Students’ Echo’ program in Indore, Rahul Gandhi raised concerns over paper leaks, recruitment practices, unemployment and lack of transparency in the education system.
Rahul Gandhi addressed a gathering of students in Indore under the banner “Students’ Echo”, focusing on the growing disconnect between the education system and young learners. He pointed to recurring paper leaks, irregularities in recruitment and the opaque nature of many academic processes as barriers to meritocracy. The leader also highlighted the high unemployment rate among graduates and the 13% hold on vacant posts that exacerbate job scarcity. Students at the forum echoed these concerns, citing difficulties in exam administration and limited career opportunities. Gandhi called for greater transparency and reforms to ensure that the system serves students rather than the elite few.
