Under constant Opposition attacks over the leaks, the minister said that there are many digital innovations which are wealth creators and India too needs to come out with some.

Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar asked students on Friday to come out with solutions to make examinations leak proof. He was speaking at the launch of the grand finale of Smart India Hackathon-2018 being held at 28 centres across the country.

His comment came as Congress president Rahul Gandhi hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi again on Friday over the leaks. He tweeted, "PM wrote Exam Warriors, a book to teach students stress relief during exams. Next up: Exam Warriors 2, a book to teach students & parents stress relief, once their lives are destroyed due to leaked exam papers." On Thursday, Gandhi had called Modi a weak "chowkidar".

"Exam question papers are printed somewhere, get packed at different places and go to banks and get distributed to other places. There is a need to make firewalls so that no one can breach the security," said Javadekar.

Under constant Opposition attacks over the leaks, the minister said that there are many digital innovations which are wealth creators and India too needs to come out with some.
