A month-long protest of students over the NEET paper leak and the hunger strike of educationist activist Sonam Wangchuk finally became fruitful as the Union Education Minister announced his resignation.
On Saturday, Dharmendra Pradhan announced that he would step down from his position.
He called his decision driven by the need to protect the future of students and prevent “anti-national forces” from exploiting the massive youth protests at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.
Pradhan’s resignation was the core demand of the protesters.
