Pradhan Resigns Reflecting Commitment to Moral Values

Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union Education Minister, resigned from his post on July 25, 2024.

This decision came after 35 days of protests led by the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party, which demanded his resignation due to irregularities in the exam system and the NEET paper leak.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai praised Pradhan's contributions to governance and education, highlighting his role in implementing the National Education Policy and expanding higher education opportunities.

Sai also noted that Pradhan's resignation reflects his commitment to ethical values and propriety in public life.

Pradhan has served under Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the past 12 years, playing a significant role in realizing the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India).
