Introduction:  A student got a notification like any other, someone had tagged her in a video.

Considering the long physical and emotional turmoil they undergo in bringing a new life into this world, coupled with new responsibilities towards the child, the new mothers have a statutory right to 12-26 weeks of paid maternity leave. However, the new fathers are not given too many days of leave to be a part of their child’s initial stage of birth and are expected to return to work after a short leave, or no leave at all.

  Picture Source: TOI Opinion Introduction: Recently the NEET paper leak set off a series of events, from nationwide protests to bill amendments. The NEET exam conducted on 3 May 2026 was allegedly leaked. It was ultimately re-conducted on 21 June 2026. With NEET being an important central and singular exam written by large numbers of students all over India to secure medical seats, this issue faced backlash by students, academics and the general public. The dissent of the people didn't stop and transformed from the news of just ‘another’ paper leak to a question of administrative responsibility, government accountability and enforced efficiency.    We saw the CJP and its mass protest demanding the resignation of the Union Education Minister and relief for NEET students.
