“Class 12 Student Sarthak Sidhant Unveils Public Portal for Government Procurement After Highlighting CBSE Tender Irregularities Involving 1.66 Crore Records”

A Class 12 student, Sarthak Sidhant, has successfully launched a public portal dedicated to government procurement, providing access to over 1.66 crore (16.6 million) records. This initiative comes in the wake of his viral analysis of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) digital evaluation tender, which raised concerns about potential discrepancies in the tender documents and ignited a national discussion on transparency in government processes.

Sidhants findings garnered significant attention, leading him to present his research to a Parliamentary committee, where he addressed the importance of integrity in public procurement. Through this new portal, he aims to empower citizens by facilitating access to extensive government data and encouraging them to engage in oversight of public procurement practices.

In addition to making the records available, Sidhant is actively seeking collaboration with developers and data scientists to create innovative data visualization tools. These tools will help users better understand the information and make informed decisions related to government spending and procurement. This initiative reflects a growing trend among young individuals leveraging technology and data to promote transparency and accountability in governance.
