Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan sends resignation to PM Modi amid student protests

Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan sent his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi amid ongoing student-led protests in New Delhi and across India. In his resignation note, Pradhan said the decision was meant to prevent “anti-national forces” from exploiting the situation and to stop students from facing legal trouble. The protests have focused on his role during the controversy over the NEET-UG exam, which the government says was cancelled and is being investigated by the CBI, with a re-examination planned and reforms announced.
