Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has proposed four key steps for states governed by the Congress party to address issues within the education sector. During a meeting of the Congress Working Committee, Gandhi, supported by general secretary Kanhaiya Kumar, suggested that these states prepare a report on academic calendars and examination vacancy calendars, implement a system to prevent paper leaks in state-level exams, and enact the Rohit Vemula Act aimed at combating caste discrimination.
Gandhi, who has introduced the Chhatron ki Goonj program to assist students, emphasized the need for academic clarity for both students and administrators.

The Opposition party criticized the government's decision to include four members with links to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in the reconstituted Textbook Development Team for class 11 and 12 political science, arguing that it is a "curse" alongside the BJP-RSS's "purification" efforts.
