What is the qualification of a Politician in India??? We can find very few in this country like Dr Manmohan Singh, Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam & Mr. Dayanidhi Maran & very few people who have achieved excellence in their educational streams & joined politics but they constitute only 10-15% of the total politicians in this country & the rest85-90% dominated by illiterates who have joined politics just to earn money & power. Its because of these groups, highly qualified & sincere politician’s goodwill are in jeopardy. There are politicians who are really true in their efforts of servicing mankind but the number is very less, hardly 5 or even less in every state. Their contribution doesn’t get proper recognition that they deserve & those people never expect recognition for their efforts they put towards improving man’s life. This situation in this country needs a change.
In every single field changes occur very rapidly, take this as an example Manufacturing Cost of a car in India was nearly rupees 6-7 lakh some years ago but now the price of the car starts from Rs 1 lakh onwards. In each & every field there is a change & improvement except in the field of "POLITICS”. This is the only field where the growth & fall can affect other areas in this country. Each & Every industry is dependent on Politics. Every industry is dependent on a Government Policy directly or indirectly. if the Government raises the Agricultural Loan interest , which ultimately affects the Agricultural industry. This situation can be applied to every department & industry in India.
A field like politics that is very crucial for everyone in every sector needs a change too. People involved in this field so called the "Politicians" have to possess some kind of educational qualification to enter in this field. There should be a governing body for politics too. There is Medical Council for the Doctors, There is a Institute of Charted Accountancy of India (ICAI) for the Charted Accountants & there is Bar Council for the Lawyers, Why can’t we have a body to govern Politics? Is it impossible?? .
Education is very vital in Politics, We need educated & well trained leaders to govern a country like India.! There has to be a qualification for the people who take up politics. Earlier this country possessed leaders like K. Kamaraj in Tamil Nadu, an politician widely considered to be the only kingmaker in Indian politics, and known for his honesty, integrity and simplicity.
Kamaraj dropped out of school when he was in the sixth grade. When he entered mainstream public life he felt handicapped and realized the importance of a good education. He educated himself during his periods of imprisonment. He hasn’t got a proper education but he excelled in politics. This is why Indians believed politics doesn’t need education & to provide opportunities to every single soul from every caste to participate in active politics & to serve mankind but this situation doesn’t exist now. People who doesn’t possess basic education joins politics just to earn only "money & Power" & they indulge in fraudulent activities in achieving this. This needs some very bad treatment to repair this situation. Most of the politicians doesn’t even possess a schooling background & they expect a salute, a person who needs to open their convoys door wherever they go & those people who do this are none other than IAS & IPS Officers of this country who have struggled for more than 4- 5 years after their Under graduation to get that 3 letter qualification. This is the current situation in this country.
This situation can be changed by introducing universities & colleges offering subjects like Public Administration, Ethics, Basic Laws in India for the "POLITICANS". There should be a separate body governing these colleges & universities for the politicians. Public Administration will teach how to garner public support, manage public funds, & how politicians should be able to manage public finances, carry out various managerial duties, motivate organizational teams, and understand the laws and ethics involved with public sector management.
If this system is introduced there will be milllions of Dr. Abdul Kalam in this country. !
