Education ministers under the Modi government's two terms have not been spared of their share of controversies. When it comes to their educational qualifications, it's hard to tell who wins the race — Smriti Irani and Ramesh Pokhriyal have both had their degrees called into question at different points of time whilst they inhabited the MHRD. Newly appointed Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, with an MA degree in Anthropology, appears to be the most educated of the lot — without any dispute around his educational qualification. Pradhan, a native of Talcher in Odisha, holds a post-graduate degree in Anthropology from Utkal University in Bhubaneswar. He is an alumnus of the Talcher College, where he started his political journey as the President of the students' union. Going a little further back in time, Prakash Javadekar was in charge of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), which has now been renamed the Ministry of Education, from 2016 to 2019. He was the only minister in charge of the MHRD who was not embroiled in a controversy about his degrees, prior to Pradhan. He is a BCom graduate from the University of Pune. His successor Smriti Irani though had a long-drawn controversy about his qualification. Irani held office from 2014 to 2016 and was the first MHRD minister of the Modi era. Her educational controversies went from her claiming to be a graduate to the former TV star accepting that she never completed college — at different points in time. In the ...

Neeraj Verma, Please ask your question on "ASK Experts" section rather than posting on forums, forums are made for general public discussions only. Now if you are seriously interested to become Education minister, then first off all develop your interest more in education and studies have any qualification.

Premium Explained: How India’s Education Ministry became ‘HRD Ministry’, and then returned to embrace Education India had a Ministry of Education from Independence until 1985, when the Rajiv Gandhi government changed its name to HRD Ministry and made several associated Departments its part. The RSS has long been in favour of going back to the original name. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, the last to take charge of the HRD ministry. (File) The Union Cabinet on Wednesday (July 29) approved the renaming of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) to the Ministry of Education to more clearly define its work and focus. With the renaming, the Ministry got back the name that it had started out with after Independence, but which was changed 35 years ago when Rajiv Gandhi was Prime Minister. Who were some of India’s early Education Ministers? For more than a decade after Independence, the Ministry was led by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. He was followed by Kalulal Shrimali and the eminent jurist M C Chagla, with the poet-educationist Humayun Kabir holding the portfolio for a short while in between. Later Education Ministers of India included Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, who went on to become President, educationists Triguna Sen and S Nurul Hasan, economist and educationist VKRV Rao, the later-day Chief Minister of West Bengal Siddhartha Shankar Ray, scholar-politician Karan Singh, and senior leaders B Shankaranand and S B Chavan.

In the current Union government, this duty rests with Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank', the Minister of Education. Up until last month, his department was called the Ministry for Human Resource Development. The name change was one of the recommendations of the New Education Policy or the NEP.

From deadlines, to national curricula, to the possibility of IITs turning to JNU, we tried to cover as much ground as possible here. Edited excerpts: Question: Congratulations on getting the New National Education Policy (NEP) out after six years of manthan . It’s a comprehensive document and vast in its vision. How are you planning to execute it given that previous NEPs remained on paper? Will there be strict deadlines for different goals outlined in the policy? Answer: As the Honourable Prime Minister quotes, “Niti se Ranniti”, the same spirit will be followed while developing the implementation plan of the National Education Policy. Every page and every word of policy is of quintessential importance to us in terms of implementation. The chapter 27 ‘Implementation’ Para 27.1 to 27.3 have briefly discussed the implementation plan in order to ensure that the policy is implemented in its spirit and intent, through coherence in planning and synergy across all bodies involved in education.
