Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that the recent controversies involving the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) were avoidable.
Pradhan emphasized that both institutions play a crucial role in shaping India’s education system and should work with greater coordination and clarity to prevent misunderstandings.
He noted that unnecessary disputes create confusion among students, teachers, and parents, and urged academic bodies to maintain transparency and accountability in their functioning.
The minister highlighted the government’s commitment to strengthening educational reforms under the National Education Policy (NEP) and called for constructive collaboration among stakeholders.
Pradhan’s remarks come amid debates over curriculum changes and policy decisions that have drawn criticism from various quarters in recent weeks.
