Education is not only for the purpase of correspondance. It may depend on job of people and age also.
AT LEAST GRADUATION MUST QUALIFICATION FOR A PUBLIC REPRESENTATIVE, BOTH FOR MP AND MLA CANDIDATURE,
WHEN IN INDIA FOR A CLERICAL JOB GRADUATION / GRADUATION FIRST CLASS IS COMPULSORY.
I am really pleased to learn in Sh. Modi’s cabinet barring aside 2 ministers which are under graduate all others are graduate/ highly qualified, & majority of them are law graduates.
Thanks for giving the edu.quaifications of central ministers ,it.is useful for everybody.
