The Indian Central Government has continued talks aimed at resolving issues raised by exam malpractice protesters, despite a demand for the resignation of Youth Affairs Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Meanwhile, efforts to combat cheating in national examinations have intensified with new measures, including stringent anti-leakage laws and termination of 47 officials from the National Testing Agency (NTA).
