Jul-Sep Representation of the People's Act, 1951 has not stipulated Minimum Educational Qualification for People's Representatives. Against this background the paper tries to investigate the probable mindset behind not prescribing any basic minimum educational qualification and also tries to explore the possibilities of introducing the same to make the quality of contributions of people's representatives at various levels especially as MLAs. Recent illumining incidents of striping off of office of persons with proven doubtful character go to convince that education allied with the concomitant ethical burden on the conscience of the person is a much-needed must for people who aspire to participate in politics and play significant role in various ministries. - Reproduced.
