New Delhi: In a major political development, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned from his post and submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Pradhan’s resignation comes amid mounting pressure over recent examination-related controversies and nationwide protests by students demanding accountability and reforms in the education system.
In his statement, Dharmendra Pradhan said he had taken full responsibility for the situation from the very beginning and emphasized that the interests of students must remain the top priority. He added that his decision was guided by the need to protect students’ future and ensure that the prevailing situation is not misused.
The resignation marks a significant development in Indian politics, as the Education Ministry has been at the center of intense public and political scrutiny in recent weeks. Opposition parties have repeatedly targeted the government over alleged irregularities in examinations and the handling of the crisis.
An official announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office regarding the acceptance of the resignation and the appointment of Pradhan’s successor is still awaited.
Further details are expected as the situation develops.
