<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nClass 12 student Sarthak Sidhant, who recently drew national attention over his analysis of CBSE’s digital evaluation tender, on Friday, launched a government procurement portal after scraping around 1.66 crore records from the government’s Central Public Procurement (CPP) Portal.“Transparency needs to be accessible. From today it is,” he wrote on X. “Within the past 2 weeks, around 1 crore 66 lakh records were scraped from the government’s CPP Portal. The Nation’s procurement database is now publicly available to all,” he added. Sidhant asked people to download the database and explore it further. “Download the database and start diving deeper. This is the beginning. More things to come,” he added. Sidhant came into the national spotlight after publishing a detailed blog examining CBSE’s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system and official tender documents linked to the digital evaluation of Class 12 answer sheets.The Ranchi-based student started looking into the issue after obtaining scanned copies of his own answer sheets and noticing differences in his marks. As more students raised concerns about transparency in the digital evaluation process, he began comparing different versions of CBSE’s procurement and tender documents available on public platforms. Sidhant has claimed that he found several changes across different rounds of bidding, including modifications to eligibility criteria, performance clauses and certification requirements. He has said these changes raise questions about the tendering process. Sidhant also appeared before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, where he presented his findings and raised concerns about the evaluation system and the tendering process.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
