Pralhad Joshi

Pralhad Joshi has been appointed as India's new Minister of Education. This appointment comes after a period of significant public protest and unrest stemming from a widespread exam leak scandal, which led to the resignation of the previous minister. Joshi, who has been a member of the Union Cabinet since 2019, is considered to be a close confidant of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His inclusion in the cabinet highlights his standing within the ruling party. The current developments place a significant emphasis on his role in addressing the recent examination irregularities and restoring public trust in the education system. His new position makes him central to the government's efforts to reform and secure the integrity of national examinations and educational processes.
