Sarthak Sidhant, a prominent whistleblower involved in exposing discrepancies in the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) OSM evaluation system, has urged Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, to ensure that student-led movements are rooted in genuine causes rather than merely seeking online attention. In an exclusive interview, Sidhant emphasized the importance of translating online outrage into actionable change, cautioning against complacency in activism. He, along with fellow whistleblowers Vedant Shrivastava and Nisarga Adhikary, has been critical of the CBSE's handling of recent examination controversies, including issues with Class 12 marksheets and the NEET-UG 2026 exam. Sidhant's findings, published on his website, allege that the CBSE manipulated tender processes to favor a specific vendor, Coempt EduTeck, which the board and the company have denied. Sidhant's call for meaningful activism highlights the need for students to engage actively rather than relying solely on digital platforms.
