Backing the education system that promotes a career in sports and politics, Union HRD Minister, Smriti Irani dismissed the charge that the education should be safforonised under the present Government. The minister is in the support of promoting religious harmony among all and has also supported the views of a student that the education system should promote a career in sports and politics.
Irani is seriously thinking of giving due importance to sports and while drafting the new education policy, she had first consulted legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, and sports writer Boria Mazumdar on how to promote sports in education.

He demanded formation of an autonomous body that will look after the education comprehensively from primary to university level. To read more SSUN demands changes in New Education Policy
