No place in 'New India' for those who play with future of youth: Rajasthan CM Sharma
Jaipur, July 29
Welcoming the 'Public Examinations Amendment Bill, 2026' passed in the Lok Sabha, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma described it as a historic and far-reaching step that reinforces the dreams of millions of the country's youth, honours their years of hard work, and strengthens faith in a fair competitive examination system, as per the release.
CM Sharma stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central Government has once again made it clear that there is no place in 'New India' for those who jeopardise the future of the youth.
The Chief Minister remarked that this amendment bill represents a firm resolve to safeguard the interests of talented and hardworking youth. It will effectively and strictly curb issues such as paper leaks, cheating, organised examination mafias, and other unethical activities, thereby strengthening the sanctity and credibility of competitive examinations.
He noted that the bill would further instil confidence in every student and candidate that their success will be based solely on their merit, capability, discipline, and hard work, rather than on any irregularities or corrupt systems. He added that under PM Modi's leadership, the Central Government has established good governance, transparency, and accountability as the cornerstones of the administrative system over the past few years; this amendment bill is a result of that very visionary approach.
The Chief Minister emphasised that the talent, energy, and innovation of the youth are the greatest assets in building a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India). Therefore, any injustice regarding their hard work is unacceptable. This bill will further strengthen public trust in the education and recruitment systems.
He added that the state government is also committed to making competitive examinations completely fair, transparent, and technology-enabled, and has been taking consistent, effective measures to achieve this.
Extending his heartfelt appreciation to PM Modi and the Central Government for this historic and visionary decision, the Chief Minister stated that the bill would play a pivotal role in realising the resolve of a 'Viksit Bharat' while safeguarding the bright future of millions of the country's youth.

Sounds good on paper but let's see how it's implemented. We've had strict laws before that didn't stop the mafia. The real challenge is catching the big fish who run these networks, not just the small-time operators. Hope this time it's different.
As a teacher in a competitive exam coaching institute, I've seen both sides. Students from rural areas often fall prey to these scams because they don't have access to proper resources. This bill needs to be paired with better infrastructure and affordable coaching for the underprivileged. Otherwise, it's just another law.
I'm an NRI but I follow Indian news closely. The exam mafia is a huge issue that affects millions. Glad to see the government taking it seriously. But I wonder if the same strictness will apply to all exams including state-level ones? Consistency is key.
Great move by Modi ji and Sharma ji! 👏 The youth are the future of India and anyone who tries to cheat them deserves strict punishment. This will restore faith in our system. Jai Hind!
I appreciate the intent but what about the students who already suffered due to past scams? Many lost years of their lives. The bill should include provisions for compensating affected candidates. Justice isn't just about punishment but also about making things right for victims.
