The Centre has set up a one-member inquiry committee to examine alleged irregularities linked to the glitch-hit on-screen marking (OSM) system of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
Retired IAS officer S Radha Chauhan has been tasked to investigate issues related to the procurement of services for the CBSE's OSM system.
Chauhan, a 1988 batch Uttar Pradesh cadre officer, has been asked to submit her findings to the department of personnel and training (DoPT) within one month.
She currently serves as chairperson of the Capacity Building Commission (CBC) and has a diverse administrative experience, including stints in women's education, health, and rural development.
The decision comes after backlash from parents and teachers over the implementation of the OSM system, which has been plagued by technical issues and discrepancies in answer sheet evaluation.
