Smriti Irani Hrd Minister

This toy-hackathon will enable students and teachers from schools and colleges, design experts, toy experts and startups to get together and crowd source ideas for developing toys and games that are based on Indian culture and ethos, local folklore and heroes, and Indian value systems.

Former HRD Minister Smriti Irani called the National Education Policy "an important step towards inclusive education".

Rohith Vemula's brother has alleged that the report of the commission, constituted by HRD ministry after the Hyderabad university scholar's death, was aimed at saving BJP Union Ministers, Vice-Chancellor of Hyderabad Central University and ABVP members.

Among the first decisions to be taken by new HRD minister Prakash Javdekar is one that puts him in total contrast to his predecessor Smriti Irani.

RJD President Lalu Prasad today said Union Textile Minister Smriti Irani was an "innocent woman" who did some good work in the previous HRD ministry, but had no prospects in her new role as Textiles minister.

New Education Minister Prakash Javadekar reached out to students on day one, asserting that dialogue is the key to avoid the kind of agitations seen on campuses around the country in recent months.

Smriti Irani wore a smile as she took charge as Textiles Minister on Wednesday afternoon and laughed away questions on why she has been shifted from the more high-profile Education Ministry, quoting from a popular Hindi film song.

New Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar has promised a roadmap for education after "getting a brief" from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Smriti Irani is no more the country's Education Minister. She has been moved out of the Human Resource Development or HRD ministry and Prakash Javadekar, promoted to cabinet rank this morning, will hold the portfolio now.

Emphasising on the need to ensure quality of teachers, Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani today said many people feel nothing is right in the education sector, but it is the responsibility of those holding a position to send a message that solutions are possible in specific time-frame.

The trigger for union minister Smriti Irani's post on Facebook is her spat on Twitter two days ago with Bihar education minister Ashok Choudhary of the Congress, when she took umbrage at his addressing her as "Dear Smritiji." Mr Choudhary had later "mumbled apologies," the minister notes, calling it her "near Jerry Maguire like moment."

Bihar Education Minister Ashok Choudhary today firmly stood his ground on the issue of addressing Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani as "dear" and cited several references, including that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi using the word to address singer Asha Bhosle.

Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani today said several development initiatives taken by the Narendra Modi government have now started showing results.

Union Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani today said the new National Education Policy will be made public only after approval from all the states.
