Shri Dharmendra Pradhan Ji has served the nation with distinction as Union Education Minister, steering the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 and driving significant reforms across school, higher and technical education.
His positive assertions towards education have been unparalleled for the State of Nagaland, with sustained attention to institutional strengthening and expanding access to quality education.
His decision to step down, placing larger public interest above office, reflects the values of accountability and selfless service that define public life at its best.
I extend my sincere gratitude for his guidance and my very best wishes for his future endeavours.
