CWC directs Revanth Reddy to overhaul Telangana education system
The Congress Working Committee has directed Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to prepare comprehensive reforms in education and examination systems to prevent question paper leaks and align with global market needs. The directive came at a CWC meeting in New Delhi chaired by AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and attended by Rahul Gandhi.
Similar instructions were given to the chief ministers of Kerala, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh. They must consult education experts, student organisations and other stakeholders before submitting state-specific reform plans to the party president within a month. Revanth Reddy reported ongoing Telangana reforms, including overhauling the state public service commission and introducing nursery classes in government schools.
The CWC also decided to continue the 'Chhatron ki Goonj' outreach programme across Telangana. Revanth Reddy will visit the UK and US from August 20 to 30 to invite premier institutions to set up campuses in Telangana's proposed Bharat Future City global education hub. He is likely to attend AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi's daughter's wedding in London on Thursday.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The CWC's intervention marks a centralisation of education policy under a party planning for 2026 assembly elections across these states. Telangana’s exam leak scandals, including the 2023 Group-I paper leak, have cost thousands of candidates time and trust, making reform urgent for voter credibility. Revanth’s US-UK trip to woo foreign universities aligns with Telangana’s Bharat Future City project, a 100-square-kilometre knowledge corridor modelled on Hyderabad’s HITEC City. With state electioneering looming, delivering leak-proof exams and global campuses is a dual test: administrative competence against political opposition. Watch for his report to Kharge by mid-September, and whether foreign university commitments emerge from the August tour.
