Youths' future reduced to mere 'revenue-raising' exercise by Centre: Jairam Ramesh slams NTA



NEW DELHI: The Congress on Sunday claimed that the National Testing Agency had netted a profit of Rs 448 crore in the last six years, alleging that the future of millions of youths was reduced to mere “revenue-raising exercise” by the Narendra Modi government.Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh shared on X Minister of State in the Education Ministry Sukanta Majumdar’s reply in the Rajya Sabha on July 31 to a question on the NTA.”The National Testing Agency (NTA) is at the very heart of the NEET scandal. It is a body of the Education Ministry whose only purpose is to function via outsourcing to private vendors,” Ramesh said on X.”Not only do these vendors very often have dubious credentials but the NTA itself is headed by a person who presided over the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission, which has seen mega-scams,” Ramesh added to his post.
