India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Sunday a special task force to reform the country's exam system, a day after his administration's education minister resigned.

Modi said in a video posted to X his administration "decided to set up a high-powered task force" led by Nandan Nilekani -- the co-founder of India's IT giant Infosys -- "which will focus on examination reform".

"Our examination system must be reliable. Our examination system must be transparent. Our examination system must make maximum use of technology," Modi added in the video statement.

Modi said the government "will work to ensure the credibility of upcoming examinations as quickly as possible."
