Pralhad Joshi takes charge as education minister a day after Pradhan's exit
Pralhad Joshi assumed the role of Union education minister on Sunday, following Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation a day earlier amid widespread student protests. Pradhan cited the unfolding situation across the country as the reason for his resignation, which he communicated to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Joshi's appointment comes at a critical time as student unrest continues to escalate in New Delhi and nationwide.
