Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on July 23, 2026, the creation of fast-track courts to address the rising issue of paper leaks in examinations. This initiative aims to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved, reflecting the government's commitment to protecting the interests of students.1
In a post on X, Modi stated, “We have decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks.” He emphasized that “Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared,” highlighting the government's proactive stance against educational fraud.2
The Prime Minister's announcement follows claims by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who noted that there have been over 150 paper leaks in the past decade without a single conviction. Modi's initiative is part of a broader strategy to safeguard students' futures, as he remarked, “This continues our series of steps for safeguarding the interests of students.”
Modi's commitment to education reform is further underscored by his previous remarks at the NDA meet, where he labeled paper leaks as a “ghor paap” (grave sin). The establishment of these courts is expected to mirror the MP/MLA fast-track courts, aiming for expedited legal processes in these critical cases.
As the government takes these steps, it seeks to restore faith in the educational system and ensure that the future of the youth remains secure and protected from corruption.
“PM Modi had called paper leaks a 'grave sin' at the NDA meet a day before the announcement, which he said continues a series of steps for safeguarding students' interests. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi countered with claims of over 150 paper leaks in 10 years without a single conviction.”
