Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Addresses Controversy Over NCERT Textbook Preamble

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan addressed rumors about the removal of the Constitution’s Preamble from NCERT textbooks in a tweet on Tuesday, firmly denying these claims. He clarified that under the new National Education Policy (NEP), NCERT textbooks emphasize key elements of the Indian Constitution, including the Preamble, Fundamental Duties, Fundamental Rights, and the National Anthem.

Pradhan criticized those attacking the Indian education system, accusing them of spreading false information. He urged critics to fully understand the actual changes before making accusations. Additionally, Pradhan took a jab at the Congress party, suggesting that its historical approach to education shows a lack of respect for India’s advancement. He argued that Congress’s criticism of the NEP and the Preamble reflects a misunderstanding of constitutional values.

In conclusion, Pradhan urged the Congress party to better comprehend both the Constitution and the NEP and to cease what he described as petty political maneuvers that negatively impact the nation’s children.
