Education Minister Pradhan Quits After Student Protests Force Government's Hand
NDTV·Sunday, 26 July 2026
Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned as Education Minister following nationwide protests over exam paper leaks. The government conceded after attempts to end the agitation — including activist Sonam Wangchuk ending his hunger strike after assurances from a Union minister — failed to calm protesters. Union minister Pralhad Joshi has been given additional charge of the Ministry of Education.
Why It Matters
This directly affects millions of students who have been demanding accountability over paper leaks in national examinations. The resignation signals that youth-led protests can force policy-level consequences.
