The Centre removes the Chairman and Secretary of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and orders a high-level inquiry into a controversy involving the board’s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. Multiple reports say the decision follows concern over how the OSM services are procured and administered. Earlier, a Parliamentary Committee for Education, Women, Children, Youth and Sports, chaired by Congress MP Digvijaya Singh, summons senior CBSE and Ministry officials and seeks explanations related to the OSM arrangement. The government’s response includes forming an inquiry mechanism to examine procurement of OSM services, in addition to reviewing broader aspects of the system’s implementation. The reports indicate that the transfers are part of the Centre’s administrative action while the probe is underway. Officials are expected to cooperate with the inquiry as the matter is examined through the committee process and the government’s ordered investigation.
