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.  aLegislations  aParliament  aIndian Journal of Political Science  aN  a85043  c85043d85043  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 70, Issue no: 3pAR85503r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
