The NDA government is contemplating a change in the existing examination system of Class 10 held by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and plans to include 'qualitative education full of Sanskar'.

The government has also decided to open a model degree college in every block, Minister of State in the HRD Ministry Ram Shankar Katheria said here today.

"A committee has been formed to go through the existing system and the earlier system. I had received complaint from the parents and the teachers regarding the existing system. Efforts would be made to provide qualitative education full of Sanskar," Katheria said while talking to reporters in Nagla Chandra Bhan.
 

The minister, who arrived here to attend a programme on the death anniversary of former President of Bhartiya Jan Sangh late Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay, also said that a model degree college would be opened in every block.

"Land for the colleges would be provided by the state government while the funding would be done by the Union government," he said.

The committee is going through in detail about the programmes to be celebrated during Deen Dayal Upadhyay centenary celebration.

When asked if Union government would set up a central university in Nagala Chandra Bhan to commemorate centenary celebration of late Deen Dayal Upadhyay, he said "We can not declare a Central university in Nagla Chandra Bhan since the land has to be provided by the state government."

He said that he was of the opinion that Pradhan Mantri Skill Development Scheme should be introduced in Nagla Chandra Bhan for the betterment of the neighbouring villages.

On the results of Delhi, he admitted that party had never expected such a result.

"We have accepted our defeat, however, it was not defeat of Modi," he said to a question.

On the reforms in Ambedkar University he said that on his instructions the results of last exam have been declared.

"There would be no compromise with admission, exams, result and administration of the university, the Vice Chancellor has been told clearly, he concluded.
