KTR demands explanation from Central Government over CBSE marks fiasco

BRS working president KT Rama Rao demanded accountability from the Union government over the alleged CBSE marks fiasco. He claimed the company at the centre of the controversy was linked to the Telangana Intermediate results issue of 2019

Hyderabad: Appreciating the fight being waged by Class 12 students against the alleged CBSE marks fiasco, BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Friday held the Union government accountable for the crisis and demanded an explanation from the Union Education Ministry. He said the Union government and the CBSE must immediately address students’ grievances, rectify all errors and ensure accountability for those responsible.

Rama Rao said the determination and courage shown by students across the country in questioning irregularities in the evaluation process were truly inspiring. Expressing serious concern over the controversy, he charged that the company at the centre of the current CBSE marks fiasco, Globarena, was the same organisation responsible for the Telangana Intermediate results debacle in 2019.

“It is unfortunate that Globarena, the same company that botched the Telangana Intermediate results in 2019, appears to have merely changed its name and secured a contract from the CBSE, only to create a much larger crisis affecting students across the country,” he alleged.

He also recalled the action taken by the then BRS government following the Intermediate results controversy. The state had acted swiftly by constituting a committee, implementing its recommendations, removing responsible officials and initiating legal action against the company, he stressed.

“For the record, when the Globarena fiasco happened in Telangana, the BRS government did not look the other way. We constituted a committee, acted on its findings, removed the responsible officials and took the company to court,” Rama Rao said.

He further alleged that despite the company’s controversial history and lessons from the Telangana experience, the CBSE continued to engage an organisation with a questionable track record.

“It is shocking that the CBSE appears to have repeatedly modified rules and procedures only to accommodate a highly incompetent organisation. Such decisions have now put the future of lakhs of students at risk,” he said.

Holding the Union government accountable for the crisis, Rama Rao sought an explanation from the Union Education Ministry.

“The Union government should answer for this mess. The Education Minister must explain how a company with such a history was entrusted with a critical responsibility,” he said.

He asserted that India’s future could not be built on a broken system where incompetence was rewarded and accountability remained absent.
