Newly appointed Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi on July 25 said he would discharge his responsibilities with “complete humility and a strong sense of responsibility”, thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for entrusting him with the portfolio.
Speaking after assuming charge of the Ministry of Education, Joshi expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for placing his confidence in him and said he would carry out the responsibility with sincerity and dedication.
“The Prime Minister has placed his trust in me and has entrusted me with such a significant responsibility. With complete humility and a strong sense of responsibility, I will fulfil this duty,” Joshi said.
He thanked Modi for assigning him the ministry and said he would work under the Prime Minister’s guidance and leadership while striving to meet the expectations associated with the role.
“I thank the Prime Minister for giving me this important responsibility and for showing such great confidence in me. Under his guidance and leadership, I will work sincerely and try my best to meet his expectations in this department,” he said.
Joshi further stated that he would perform his duties with “full dedication, humility, and honesty”.
Reflecting on the work of the ministry in recent years, the minister credited his predecessor, Dharmendra Pradhan, with implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) and advancing key education reforms.
“Dharmendra Pradhan also implemented the National Education Policy, and several important initiatives were undertaken. The country has made significant progress in the new education system,” he said.
Joshi said he would continue working under the Prime Minister’s leadership to further strengthen the country’s education sector.
He assumed additional charge of the Ministry of Education after President Droupadi Murmu accepted the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan earlier on Saturday.
