Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday announced his resignation, conceding to one of the key demands of nationwide youth protests that sought to hold him accountable for the NEET-UG paper leak controversy.
His resignation follows weeks of demonstrations that organisers described as one of the largest youth-led protest movements in recent years. Protesters demanded greater accountability in the education system, strict action against those responsible for the alleged examination irregularities, and Pradhan's resignation.
