The Rajya Sabha informed recently that there was no proposal to remove Charles Darwin's theory of evolution from school or college curriculums.
Minister of State for Human Resource Development Satya Pal Singh stated, “CBSE has intimated that Charles Darwin's evolution of species is a part of the curriculum under the elective subject of Biology for class 12.” He further added that the ministry is not considering any proposal to omit the theory from school and college curricula as well.
The news comes after Singh landed in controversy last month when he claimed at an event that Darwin’s theory of evolution was scientifically wrong and needed to be changed in school and college curricula.
