Top 8 highly educated Politicians in India
India holds the title of being the second-largest democratic country across the globe. For a smooth administration, the country has been divided into many states, constituencies, villages, panchayats, wards, etc. And every year several elections take place to get a leader for these geographical regions. There are elections to get sarpanch, parshad, MLA, MP, and so on. But one thing that needs attention is that anybody can participate in the election. The only criteria are, the candidate should be above certain age depending upon the position he is contesting election for. Yes, that’s the only criteria. So be it anyone, male-female, literate-illiterate, demon-devil, police-thief, or just anyone can contest an election. And this is the reason, there are leaders from all walks of life in our country. While few leaders haven’t even completed their schooling, we also have/had few highly educated personalities in our government. Let’s check out what they studied and where they studied from.
Before we start, you must know that these educated politicians have studied from the top universities of the world. They worked for MNCs and then entered politics to serve the nation. So students who want to serve the country and are also confused about whether to go abroad for higher studies or not do not need to worry. You can apply for admission to foreign universities, process the documents required like transcripts (Pune University transcript, DU transcript, or transcript from any university you are pursuing your graduation), MoI, ECA, and complete your masters abroad. You can serve your nation afterward too. So let’s get started with the list.
