<P> Corruption in Indian education system has been eroding the quality of education and has been creating long - term negative consequences for the society . Educational corruption in India is considered as one of the major contributors to domestic black money . </P> <P> Grade inflation has become an issue in Indian secondary education . In CBSE, a 95 per cent aggregate is 21 times as prevalent today as it was in 2004, and a 90 per cent close to nine times as prevalent . In the ISC Board, a 95 per cent is almost twice as prevalent today as it was in 2012 . CBSE called a meeting of all 40 school boards early in 2017 to urge them to discontinue "artificial spiking of marks". CBSE decided to lead by example and promised not to inflate its results . But although the 2017 results have seen a small correction, the board has clearly not discarded the practice completely . Almost 6.5 per cent of mathematics examinees in 2017 scored 95 or more--10 times higher than in 2004--and almost 6 per cent of physics examinees scored 95 or more, 35 times more than in 2004 . </P> <P> Following India's independence a number of rules were formulated for the backward Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes of India, and in 1960 a list identifying 405 Scheduled Castes and 225 Scheduled Tribes was published by the central government . An amendment was made to the list in 1975, which identified 841 Scheduled Castes and 510 Scheduled Tribes . The total percentage of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes combined was found to be 22.5% with the Scheduled Castes accounting for 17% and the Scheduled Tribes accounting for the remaining 7.5% . Following the report many Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes increasingly referred to themselves as Dalit, a Marathi language terminology used by BR Ambedkar which literally means "oppressed". </P> <P> The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are provided for in many of India's educational programmes . Special reservations are also provided for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in India, e.g. a reservation of 15% in Kendriya Vidyalaya for Scheduled Castes and another reservation of 7.5% in Kendriya Vidyalaya for Scheduled Tribes . Similar reservations are held by the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in many schemes and educational facilities in India . The remote and far - flung regions of North - East India are provided for under the Non-Lapsible Central pool of Resources (NLCPR) since 1998--1999 . The NLCPR aims to provide funds for infrastructure development in these remote areas . </P>
