Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union Education Minister of India, has candidly
admitted that due to curriculum revisions, some students may not have the
opportunity to study Charles Darwin’s theories of evolution in their
academic journey. Pradhan clarified that the revised syllabus for science
subjects aims to include a wider range of topics, ensuring a more
comprehensive understanding of scientific concepts. While acknowledging the
omission of certain aspects, including Darwin’s work, Pradhan emphasized
the importance of adapting the curriculum to keep pace with modern
advancements and scientific discoveries. The minister reassured that
students would still gain a solid foundation in science and stressed the
need for a holistic approach to education that encompasses both traditional
and contemporary knowledge.
