Prasad Proposes Tech System to Prevent Exam Paper Leaks
In India, exams are very important for students, but sometimes the question paper gets leaked before the exam.
That is a big problem, so a famous movie writer named V Vijayendra Prasad wants to fix it.
He is also a member of parliament.
He thinks computers could make a brand-new question paper just minutes before the exam starts.
That way, the questions are not ready early, and nobody can steal them.
This year, an important exam called NEET had problems with leaks.
Many people protested for over a month about it.
The education minister had to leave his job because of the protests.
Mr. Prasad also has happy movie news.
He is writing new films with his son.
Rajya Sabha MP V Vijayendra Prasad called exam paper leaks a 'burning issue' in India.
He proposed a technology-driven system that would generate and encrypt question papers minutes before an examination.
Allegations of irregularities in this year's NEET examination triggered 36 days of nationwide protests led by Cockroach Janta Party.
The agitation ended with the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Prasad also said he narrated the 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' sequel to Salman Khan and wrote filmmaker S S Rajamouli's upcoming film 'Varanasi'.
