NEET was introduced with three principal promises: (1) reduce the burden, (2) eliminate commercialisation, and (3) improve standards.
On every one of these counts, #NEET has failed. It has merely shifted the centre of learning from schools to coaching centres.
The problem with NEET has always been structural, not merely procedural. Recent events have vindicated that concern.
The ongoing student protests must serve as a wake-up call for the Union Government. It's time to trust the states. It's time to abolish NEET.

Some moments are bigger than the game.
Walking out to play, carrying a loss no words can hold, you show what heart truly means. Not just a cricketer today, but a son playing for his mother.

Strength, prayers, and yellove always, Mukesh. 💛
