Weekly current affairs: Dharmendra Pradhan quits amid CJP protest, DRDO milestones, Commonwealth Games and more

From major political developments in India to shifting geopolitical equations and advances in defence technology, the past week has witnessed several significant events with long-term implications for governance, security and international affairs. At home, the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan as Union education minister following nationwide protests over examination irregularities and the appointment of Pralhad Joshi mark an important transition in the education ministry. Alongside the leadership change, the Centre has proposed sweeping amendments to the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill , promising faster investigations, time-bound trials and stricter punishment to curb paper leaks.
