He also stated that the ministry has fast-tracked the work on setting up a virtual database under which all the academic records will be available in digital format. The initiative has been taken to curb the menace of fake educational degrees and mark sheets. He said that the creation of virtual database would help the recruiters who wish to verify candidate background and other the credentials of applicants.

He mentioned that it is high time that people change their mindset. The problem in India is that change is taking place at a rapid phase but people are not adapting to these changes at the same pace.
