Congress outlines education overhaul and cultural campaigns at strategy meeting

At a senior Congress Working Committee gathering, the party set out a comprehensive political agenda covering cultural, educational, and regional issues. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge instructed state chief ministers to join forces with academic experts to design a new framework for schools and exams. The meeting also mapped out the Vande Mataram centenary celebrations, an expanded "Chhatron ki Goonj" campaign against exam paper leaks targeting 800 cities, and a strategy to address the "chanda chori" controversy linked to the Ram Temple by reaching out to villages and panchayats.

Discussions included the ongoing "shuddhikaran" dispute in Uttarakhand. Party spokesperson Venugopal praised the Monsoon Session of Parliament as a successful opposition effort that left the government on the defensive.
