'This Is a New Subject for me...': Joshi's First Reaction After Getting Education Ministry Charge
Prahlad Joshi takes temporary charge as the ministry faces another leadership change after Dharmendra Pradhan’s exit.
- Since May 2014, the BJP has appointed four ministers to lead the Education Ministry: Smriti Irani, Prakash Javadekar, Ramesh Pokhriyal, and Dharmendra Pradhan, each shaping India's educational landscape through distinct policy initiatives.
- Smriti Irani served as Minister for Human Resource Development from May 2014, overseeing the rollback of Delhi University's Four-Year Undergraduate Programme while initiating the National Education Policy and launching the National Institutional Ranking Framework.
- Prakash Javadekar spearheaded the IIM Act in 2017, declaring IIMs as "Institutions of National Importance," and amended the Right to Education Act to scrap the "No-Detention Policy" affecting classes 5 and 8.
- Ramesh Pokhriyal succeeded Javadekar in 2019 and oversaw the July 29, 2020 approval of the National Education Policy before resigning from the Union Cabinet on July 7, 2021, following Covid-19 complications.
- These ministerial transitions reflect the government's evolving priorities in managing India's complex education sector, with successors like Dharmendra Pradhan inheriting ongoing implementation of long-term reforms initiated across previous tenures.
