THE SKIN DOCTOR@theskindoctor13·
The govt should consider creating a national pool of young ethical hackers, cybersecurity researchers, and talented students to regularly test the security of its websites and digital infrastructure. Every year, crores are spent on private contractors to build and maintain govt portals. Yet many remain slow, poorly designed, vulnerable to security flaws, plagued by glitches, and raise concerns about data privacy. As the recent CBSE controversy showed, even a small technical vulnerability can trigger confusion, mistrust, and nationwide outrage. So why not tap into the talent that already exists in the country? A structured bug bounty and security-audit program, with attractive rewards, would encourage some of India's brightest minds to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. The cost would be a fraction of current spending and should be made part of contractors' obligations. While some govt platforms already have bug bounty programs, the current approach is either not comprehensive enough or not effective enough. A stronger, centralized, and better-funded system may be needed. No system is perfectly secure, but having thousands of skilled people actively looking for weaknesses is more effective than relying solely on a handful of vendors.

Education is the ONLY honest route available to Indians to improve their economic status. Exams are life & death situations for millions. The casual zamindar style attitude displayed by the PM is his lowest moment in his 12 year rule.

जेबकतरों से सावधान - आज वो CBSE के अंदर बैठे हैं। CBSE की गलती से नंबर ग़लत आए तो आपको क्या मिलता है? एक bill: Digital scan copy: ₹100/विषय Re-totalling: ₹100/paper Re-evaluation: ₹25/सवाल अपनी ही answer sheet की सही जाँच के लिए एक बच्चे को ₹2000 तक भरने पड़ सकते हैं। सोचिए, जब 4 लाख बच्चों ने ऐसे आवेदन डालें हैं तो CBSE कितनी कमाई कर रहा है। जब scanning फ़ोन से हुई हो, ग़लत मार्किंग तय है। और उसे ठीक करवाने की क़ीमत बच्चा भर रहा है। गलती CBSE की। सज़ा बच्चे की। कमाई सरकार की। जब शिक्षा को सेवा नहीं, कारोबार बना दिया जाए तब गलती सुधारी नहीं जाती। बढ़ाई जाती है। और इसकी सबसे बड़ी क़ीमत हमारे बच्चे चुका रहे हैं - अपने समय से, अपने आत्मविश्वास से, और अपने भविष्य से।

Imagine losing your parents at 14, raising two kids alone while cleaning cricket grounds to fund physiotherapy studies. That was Emily. During a camp, Josh Hazlewood spotted her passion, recommended her to RCB, and today she’s part of the team healing players. A true comeback story! 🙌❤️

एक अत्यंत निर्धन परिवार की छात्रा है, पिता के साथ एक कमरे के मकान में बैठ कर उत्तर प्रदेश के RO/ARO परीक्षा की तैयारी करती रही। जब सफल हो गई तो कुछ को जॉइनिंग मिल गई, रैंक 7 लाने के बाद भी, आज उसके पिता कोर्ट द्वारा लगाए स्टे से लड़ रहे हैं। 2023 में नोटिफिकेशन, 2026 के अप्रैल में परिणाम और फिर स्टे! 2023 में आए नोटिफिकेशन के बाद, फ़रवरी 2024 में प्रीलिम्स परीक्षा हुई, पेपर लीक हुआ, पुनः परीक्षा हुई। छात्रों ने जब आंदोलन किया तो योगी जी ने पुन परीक्षा को 6 महीने के भीतर करने के आदेश दिए। हालाँकि, आयोग द्वारा नोटिफिकेशन जारी करने के बाद नियम बदलते हुए डबल शिफ्ट में परीक्षा कराई जाने की जब बात कही गई तो छात्रों ने इसके विरोध में आंदोलन किया। आयोग परीक्षा को सिंगल शिफ्ट में करने पर विवश हुआ और जुलाई 2025 में प्रिलिम्स की परीक्षा कराई गई। सितंबर 2025 में रिजल्ट आने के बावजूद मुख्य परीक्षा में अनावश्यक विलंब हुआ और फरवरी 2026 में परीक्षा संपन्न हुई जिसका परिणाम 5 अप्रैल 2026 को जारी हुआ। रिजल्ट आने के बाद अब कुछ लोगों की जॉइनिंग पर कोर्ट ने स्टे लगा दिया है। जिस परीक्षा का नोटिफिकेशन अक्टूबर 2023 में आया था, आयोग उसे 2026 में भी संपन्न नहीं करवा पा रहा है। प्रत्याशी की आयु बढ़ रही है, उनके माता-पिता बूढ़े हो रहे हैं और तंत्र से आशाएँ अब समाप्त होती जा रही हैं।

Tanmay Kashyap@TanmayKOfficial·
Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji... please listen to your children's cries @narendramodi @PMOIndia I am Tanmay Kashyap, a CBSE Class 12 student, writing this with a completely broken heart and tears that won't stop. Sir, today was Mann Ki Baat… we were desperately hoping you would finally speak about the CBSE OSM blunder that has destroyed lakhs of students. But you didn’t say a single word. Because of blurry OSM sheets, crashing portals, overcharging and faulty marking, our board percentages are ruined. College admissions have already started and JOSAA counselling is about to begin lakhs of us may have to drop an entire year. I lost my close friend to suicide. Many more students are attempting the same. We gave two years of our blood and soul... and you remain silent. Sir, we are your children. We never harmed you. We just studied hard. Please... with folded hands and a dying heart, I beg you - speak about the OSM tragedy. Award grace marks of 20 in all subjects so we can still save our futures. Don't let more lives be lost. Please help us Sir... we have no one else. With folded hands and a broken soul, A devastated Cbse student @EduMinOfIndia @dpradhanbjp @cbseindia29 #CBSE2026 #GraceMarksForCBSE #JusticeForCBSEStudents #Osm #Cbsestudents #OsmControversy #SaveCBSEStudents #Cbse

THIS IS ABSOLUTE BELT TREATMENT 🔥 ANJANA: YouTube star teachers have two-paise knowledge. They chase views and make money. SUMAN MA’AM 🎯: You put chips in ₹2000 notes, declare people dead, run fake WhatsApp chats and fake GDP numbers. ANJANA: Online teachers are fake. SUMAN MA’AM ⚡️: Every slide, every line is watched by students. We work 100 times harder. ANJANA: They mislead students. SUMAN MA’AM 🔥: You ignore paper leaks and unemployment. We raise students’ issues. Without teachers, there are no doctors, engineers or journalists.

Im also thinking about this. Stop sending children to CBSE. Start looking at IB/Cambridge syllabus in Indian schools. If children want to opt for medical career, then UCAT/BMAT exams will help entry into good foreign universities. If anyone has experience in this switch, please discuss here. I have lost complete faith in this country and its pseudoscience infiltrated educational system.

When you're in your 40s and don't know if you should switch Careers, start a Business, do an online Course, Move to a different country, buy a farmhouse in your hometown, or just cry in your car listening to old Bollywood songs and wondering how the kid who had everything figured out at 16, became this confused adult.

NEET: 22 lakh students affected CBSE: 17 lakh students affected CUET (UG): 16 lakh students affected That’s 55 lakh students in distress. Is one incompetent Education Minister more important than 55 lakh students? Why is the Prime Minister not sacking him?

Malay Krishna@Malay4Product·
This is an unbelievable piece of work by Sarthak and something that requires amplification. Let me explain what he found, in simple terms. Sarthak is a Class 12 student from the 2025-26 batch, one of the 17 lakh students whose answer sheets went through CBSE's new On-Screen Marking system. He spent days reading through CBSE's evaluation tenders, scraped all 576 tenders CBSE has issued, and tracked how the rules changed across three versions of the same tender. The core finding is that the company that won the contract to scan and grade 17 lakh students' answer sheets is Coempt Eduteck. Coempt used to be called Globarena Technologies. Globarena was the company behind the 2019 Telangana intermediate exam disaster, where software failures led to 3.8 lakh students getting wrong or missing marks, and 23 students died by suicide. A government committee found systemic failure and negligence. Six months later, Globarena rebranded to Coempt Eduteck. So a company with that track record won a contract to handle 17 lakh CBSE students. Sarthak's investigation is about how the rules were rewritten to let that happen. The tender was issued three times. > First tender, February 2025. It existed, then disappeared from the public GeM portal. Sarthak scraped all 576 CBSE tenders and this one was missing from the archive entirely. > Second tender, May 2025. Four companies applied including TCS and Coempt. All four failed the technical evaluation. Cancelled. > Third tender, August 2025. Coempt won. Between the second and third tender, a series of rule changes happened, and every single one made it easier for Coempt to qualify. Here is what changed, one by one. 01. The old rules disqualified any company with a history of abandoning work, failing to complete contracts, or financial weakness. The new rules deleted this clause entirely. Coempt's Telangana history stopped being a barrier. 02. The old rules disqualified any company that was "blacklisted earlier." The new rules changed this to "currently blacklisted." Because Globarena rebranded after Telangana, removing the word "earlier" effectively erased their past. 03. The rules required Rs 50 crore average turnover over three years. Coempt's exact average came to Rs 50.86 crore. They cleared the bar by less than 1%. Earlier, a smaller company had asked CBSE to lower the bar to Rs 30 crore for fairer competition. CBSE refused. So the bar was kept high enough to block small players, but sat exactly low enough for Coempt to scrape through. 04. Software maturity is measured on the CMMI scale, 1 to 5. The old rules required Level 5. The new rules dropped it to Level 3. Coempt is a Level 3 company. 05. The cooling-off period for engaging retired CBSE officials was cut from two years to one. This makes it easier to use recently retired insiders to influence the process. 06. The old rules required experience with large projects of at least 5 lakh students each. The new rules removed the student count and counted cumulative answer-book volume across small projects instead. Coempt has many small fragmented university contracts. This helped Coempt and hurt TCS. 07. The old rules required bidders to own their own data centre and disaster recovery centre on Indian soil. The new rules allowed third-party MeitY-empanelled cloud hosting. Coempt runs on AWS and Azure. This helped Coempt and hurt TCS, which owns its own data centres. It also means student data is no longer on sovereign, Indian infrastructure. 08. The old rules required the bidder to own or control the complete source code of its software. The new rules deleted this. Coempt's platform runs on Microsoft's proprietary IIS, which they don't own. 09. A last-minute corrigendum, issued right before bid submission, removed CBSE's own power to blacklist the firm if its software failed catastrophically. So even a Telangana-scale failure couldn't get Coempt banned from future government tenders. 10. The penalty structure shifted from punishing mistakes to punishing delays. The old rules fined the vendor for wrong scanning, merged pages, and unscanned books. The new rules dropped those and instead levied Rs 50,000 per day for delays. This incentivises rushed scanning over accurate scanning. 11. The old rules had a hard accuracy threshold, error rate not to exceed 0.5%. The new rules removed this number entirely. 12. The old rules specified proper book and robotics scanners. The new rules just say "sufficient scanners." The definition was vague enough that, as Sarthak notes, the scanning could be done with a phone on a stand. 13. On the security side, the contract required a VAPT (vulnerability and penetration test) certified by CERT-In before go-live, and a restricted beta phase before launch. The system clearly wasn't restricted, because the other researcher, Nisarga, was able to access it and find vulnerabilities four days before go-live. So the mandatory security audit appears to have been bypassed. These are more than a dozen rule changes, all between the failed tender and the winning tender, all pushing in the same direction, all benefiting the one company with the worst track record in the field. The security holes Nisarga found last week now have an explanation. The system was built by a vendor that was specifically allowed to skip the security certification, the source code ownership, the data sovereignty, and the quality thresholds the original rules demanded. Following things need to happen immediately; 1. An immediate CAG audit of the tender process. 2. A parliamentary debate on the topic. 3. An independent investigation into > Why the first tender vanished? > Why the disqualification clauses were deleted? > Why the turnover bar was held exactly where it was? > Why the security level was dropped? > Why the blacklisting power was removed at the last moment? Sarthak, this is genuinely exceptional investigative work. Far better than most journalists with full resources ever manage. Take a bow. :)

Once again sharing few things I wrote about Japan last year: Very friendly people. Extremely clean country. Their public toilets are so clean, hygienic and tidy. Not all of us can maintain such standards even at our own homes. Zero trash. A very high trust society. Their love for Indians are evident. Nice places to see. 80 years before they were totally destroyed. How amazingly they have rebuilt the entire nation. In general, no one cheats you. Neither a street side vendor nor a cab driver. People greet you and thank you profusely. Shintoism and Buddhism accounts for more than 95% of the country's population. Shintoism is extremely similar to Hinduism. Most Japanese practice blend of both Shintoism and Buddhism. It is not exaggeration if the bullet train is at 10.03 am means, it is precisely 10.03 am. Nothing is late. Everything is on time. They have not only become an economic power but role model for cleanliness, trust, discipline and safety. One of the lowest crime rates in the world. Even women travelers visiting Japan can explore the cities in midnight. Did not see a single traffic police or cop during the our stay in Japan. May sound exaggeration but the truth is no one violate any traffic rules. Being a high trust society, the role of the cops are less. Bullet train stations, shrines and many public places are hugely crowded. Thousands and thousands of people assemble in very small area. You've to see the crowd at places like Shibuya crossing in Tokyo to believe it. You'll see no cop anywhere for crowd control. People automatically follow queue everywhere. What you've heard is not exaggeration. If your cab time is 10 am and you are 2 minutes late, you would have missed the cab and have to look for next. There are instances where bullet train drivers have apologised for being half a minute late. The nation values punctuality a lot and it is non negotiable. Many people live well beyond 100. The average life expectancy for women is 88 and for men is 84. Generally people look and act fit. They walk a lot. Really surprising how discipline, cleanliness and trust comes so naturally to them. Japanese have the highest IQ in the world too. Few people from our group went separately in the middle of the night to Shibuya crossing to witness night life there. They lost their way. An elderly Japanese gentleman walked with them close to one kilometer to railway station, waited for them to board train going to right direction, mentioned how many stations after which they should get down and then only left. How many of us would do this to strangers at middle of the night? A small boy, may be 3 or 4 years old, dropped a piece of ice cream wrapper on the ground in the bullet train station. The Japanese man following him immediately picked the trash, seeing no trash can near by, put it in his pocket to dispose of later. As I said before, your ignorance is never exploited, not even by a street vendor or a cab driver. Your lack of awareness about pricing in the local economy, never make Japanese merchants exploit you. They don't even charge a yen more than what is actually due to them. No pick pockets, stealing or any safety issues. Almost zero crime. I'm unable to understand how they have made such a large nation practice ethics, cleanliness, discipline, trust, safety and courteous behaviour. Though it may be automatic for them, how much they wish and bow. More than economic prosperity, this national DNA appears miraculous. What is very striking is the poorest of Japanese people have better quality of life than richest of Indians.

#WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand | A class 12th student, Sarthak Sidhant, says, “…I have written a blog that compares the tender documents of CBSE. I have uploaded and published it… There were at least 15 discrepancies, as per my blog. I would like to highlight three or four of them. Let me give a background about Coempt. It was known as Globarena, and they have a very shady background. 23 students killed themselves because of coempt… Now, I would like to tell you about RFP (Request for Proposal). What happens is the government issues a tender and asks the bidder to bid for it. CBSE issued this tender three times… I have compared the old RFP and the new RFP, and I found some discrepancies… The first discrepancy is that there were three clauses of poor performances which was completely wiped out from the new RFP. In the earlier RFP, there was a clause called blacklisted earlier, whereas in the new RFP, it was changed to blacklisted currently. Why would the board want a service provider which was blacklisted earlier? The third thing I found out is the 50 crore limit, which you needed to qualify, and coempt qualified that by 1.7% … The time frame of corrupt practices was halved, and there were project criteria changes… It shows a pattern that the industry giant TCS was not preferred, but coempt was preferred, which works as a very fragmented group of institutions…”

Now a days, I rarely take names. But I believe Anna Hazare and India Against Corruption ( IAC) created a strong impression that corruption is going out of the country while we continue to remain what and where we are. Anna Hazare and IAC actually mislead India. They just triggered strong emotions on hopeful Indians. Nothing more.

I got this message on X : Respected Dr. Shraddhey Katiyar sir, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to bring to your attention the deteriorating food quality and poor hygiene conditions in the mess at AIIMS Guwahati. Students have been facing issues like unhygienic food, irregular menu, and even contaminants found in meals on multiple occasions. Despite repeated complaints through proper channels, the situation has not improved significantly. It is affecting students’ health and daily functioning, especially during exams and clinical duties. If you could kindly highlight this issue on Twitter, it would help bring wider attention and possibly prompt quicker administrative action. Thank you for your time and support. Respectfully. @MoHFW_INDIA @CMOfficeAssam
