MINIMUM EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION FOR NETAS
Harayana State has made std X for men in general category and
Std VIII for women. It is upheld by the Supreme Court and is a step in
right direction, Every occupations /profession has laid minimum
qualifications and why not the elected. Educational qualification of std X
and cannot be considered as a stiff level, The compulsory primary
education for those in age group under 14 years within ten years is still a
distant dream after 68 years .It is also true that many are denied this
luxury of formal education due to economical reasons and lack of facilities
within the vicinity. The MLA`s and MP`s are rattled and much worried lot
,for they may be possibly be next target and hence take shelter under
public, National debate as a diversionary tactic. It is no secret that any
fake degrees are available for asking and many have used them for
employment.
Electors know that Secretaries in Govt. do the basic work and education is
not a hurdle to occupy the highest post in Governance,. Many electors skip
the House and hardly ever participate, except through question hour to
substantiate their existence in the eyes of their voters. Congress calls
the decision to divide voters, but BJP welcomes it.. Constitutional
limitations of debarring with those of unsound mind, can reasonably make
another limitations of minimum educational base. Debates, discussions are
generally monopolized by a small educated minority and having such
compositions is advantageous to their lime light Understanding the
intricacies of Governance , to frame laws. Participate in discussions ,
debates at least needs basic education and it is but natural that we have
literate, well informed leaders representing us.. The issue cannot be
postponed indefinitely, till India is literate in the near future. The
argument that the grass root workers will be denied vertical mobility in
governance in spite of their experience, practical wisdom. It may also give
fillip to spread literacy movement
Governance is also a highly technical business to be independent and not to
be slaves of the secretaries, dominating the field “ YES MINISTER SERIES”
highlights the role of these functionaries. That voters have also right to
stand for elections is stretching to far unconvincingly. In this
competitive world educated electors at any level of Governance. Voters who
elect them have a limited purpose and do not understand the nitty gritty of
functioning of the Governance
