Is it necessary to set a minimum qualification of our politicians to qualify for elections? It can be different for different seats for different elections.
We can set high school for local bodies and for state and national elections a degree in any subject. Do we have enough degree holders in our parliament and state assemblies? Any idea of education of your local MP or MLA?

More than anything the aspiring politicians need to sevelop a love for their country ! Once certain qualifications are made compulsory, the money power and criminalisation may come down...
1, Absolutely no criminal record of any sort
2, Should serve at least two years in the armed forces as a voluntary worker.
3, Should have a basic education of degree...we have some MLAs in our state who are unable to read and write !
4, Should declare all his wealth and show records as to how it was obtained - this should be done every year !

The MP and MLA from my constituency have good academic record. The MP is in fact a professor in university. The education qualification of MPs and MLAs are better than before. These days there would be hardly and politician at national or state level without a degree. Prescribing qualification is not really necessary. what is already prescribed in constitution is fair enough. Moreover the political parties consider this also while nominating candidates for election.

If what I have heard is right, then the two youngsters Jotiraditya Scindhia and Sachin Pilot are also well educated. The same I have heard about Akhilesh Yadav too.

The points you mentioned are pretty sweet. But that will only add to corruption. People will be able to proccure false certificate of having worked in the army. As far as wealth is concerned, these people are shrewd. They won't have anything directly in their name and yet dictate terms when it comes to their own finance. I am sure you will agree with this.

Many MPs and MLAs have furnished falls degrees and certificates. Some of them have submitted falls documents about their income and property also. Every documents need to be checked by concerned authorities.
