Pradhan had alleged that DMK-led Tamil Nadu govt initially agreed to implement the PM Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) scheme in the state but later went back on its promise.
Tamil Nadu govt has been refusing to sign an MoU with Centre to implement PM-Shri, citing objections to the 'imposition of the three-language formula'.
The event saw the presence of Bharatiya Bhasha Samiti Chairman Chamu KrishnaShastry, UGC Chairman M. Jagadesh Kumar, academics, scholars, and Ministry officials.
National Testing Agency’s charter is to assess the 'competence of candidates' for admission and recruitment, but NEET and UGC-NET firestorms have put its own competency in question.
Asking Oppn not to politicise paper leaks, Pradhan says UGC-NET was cancelled after questions appeared on ‘dark net’. Asked about NEET, says issues limited to ‘specific regions’.
Bihar Police officers say National Testing Agency, which conducts NEET, has not responded to all questions asked, leading to a delay in establishing the trail of alleged paper leak.
BJP’s Pradhan, seen as a potential CM, is set to defeat BJD heavyweight Pranab Prakash Das. Sambalpur seat falls in western Odisha, considered a BJP stronghold.
