Dharmendra Pradhan, in a post on X on Saturday (July 25, 2026), announced that he has tendered his resignation from the post of Union Education Minister.

In a letter posted to X, Mr. Pradhan stated that in over to avoid “anti-national forces” from exploiting the situation at Jantar Mantar and across the nation, and “so that the unity of the country remains intact, so that the future of no student in India gets tangled in legal complexities, and so that our children spend their time studying and focusing on building their careers,” he has decided to quit from his position.

“Keeping all of this in mind, I have submitted my resignation to the honourable Prime Minister,” Mr. Pradhan’s letter read.

Prime Minister Narendra is yet to provide any public comment on this.

“I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Honourable Prime Minister for his guidance, trust, and constant support. I also extend my thanks to all my esteemed colleagues in the Council of Ministers, officials, and staff of the Ministry, as well as everyone I had the privilege to work alongside. Service to the nation remains the highest priority of my life, and I shall always stay dedicated to it,” Mr. Pradhan added.
