CWI Public Poll: What Kind of Education Minister Does India Need?
CWI opens a public opinion poll asking whether India should consider education reform voices like Sonam Wangchuk for national education leadership, with a clear disclaimer that this is not official or an endorsement.

Short answer
Short answer: This is a CWI public opinion poll, not a government poll, election survey, endorsement, or appointment claim. The question is: Should India consider education reform voices like Sonam Wangchuk for national education leadership? Options include yes, no, maybe through an independent reform council, or not sure. The poll is meant to document public sentiment around education leadership after NEET, CBSE OSM, student stress, and accountability failures described in the June research data.
