Education Crisis: Congress MP Demands Accountability from Modi Government

Congress MP Pramod Tiwari raised concerns in the Rajya Sabha about declining school enrolment, criticizing the Modi government's approach to education. Highlighting a report from UDISE, he connected the trend to economic disparity and inadequate infrastructure in several states, demanding government clarification and action.

On Wednesday, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari demanded accountability from the Indian government for the notable decline in school enrolment figures, arguing that the Modi administration's commitment to education is lacking.

Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, Tiwari underscored that the government's promises, such as the "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" campaign, have not translated into action. He referenced a UDISE report revealing decreased enrolment and inadequate infrastructure, particularly in states like Uttar Pradesh and Telangana.

Tiwari suggested this trend indicates growing economic inequality and criticized the government's focus on publicity over education, urging for a clear response and strategy to reverse the enrolment decline.
