3. Discovering the Answers To the Biggest Query- Defending
the Limitations of Qualification and setting A new Base
If taking a look carefully on the pre-criteria to qualify to enter in Politics, there is no any educational specified
rule. As it is very common to be eligible in terms of educational qualification to get even a low-paid job, e.g. A
clerk grade job, the question arises that- “Is there no need for having even minimum qualification to the one
who is going to look after the whole country?”
According to the responsibilities of a Politician, the criteria must be :-
The person should have at least UG level degree or equivalent in any subject
The person should not have any kind of criminal record
The person should qualify in all the three rounds of eligibility test as described below:-
Entrance test
In following subjects:-
Mother tongue(grammar,
writing)
Political science
General science
General knowledge
History
Reasoning
English(grammar, writing)
Mathematics
Interview
Must be taken by eminent
Bureaucrats
Inclusion of Polygraph
Test
(In order to check the mind
set of the candidate-whether
originally to serve the
country or for any other
undesirable purpose)
Physical Test
Medical Test- whether the
candidate is internally fit and
strong- must be taken by eminent
physician
To check whether the candidate is
psychologically fit and free from
any kind of mental disorder-To be
taken by eminent psychiatrists

4. Bureaucracy or say the instrument of politicians, are frequently been used to play
the show for Victory. The police personnel are the chief victims of the political
misuse of power. During the elections, these are used by the candidates to reveal
their power over one another . The example of muscle power can be best seen in
the elections of 1991, where mass killing took place at a great extent.
Freeing the bureaucracy: A milestone to
build a fair model of electoral process
To reduce muscle power in politics, it is mandatory to remove the base of this
problem. The following rules must be applied:-
The Bureaucracy must be kept under the Judiciary , as it is the independent
body of the whole system.
Bureaucrats , as a part of judiciary, must not act under the politicians during
elections or for any other purpose.
The police would act for the politicians only If any politician seek for
protection under the special protection’s right.

5. Managing the Patrolling Budgets committee: Structuring
new modes of verifying PoLiticians’ budgets
The election commission of India has its rule to take all information regarding the budgets of Political
parties before and after the elections. But, this rule is however ineffective due to the reason that it all
depends on the politicians and not on any second source.
Although, the ECI of India has not yet formed a committee to patrol the budgets of Politicians known for
election. As the nature of politics has already been corrupt, there is a quick need to switch on the
verification in order to reduce money-power in electoral processes. This committee will be at the state
level as well at the central level. The committee will be designed as follows:-
Patrolling Budgets
Committee
Verification
Committee(1)
Budgets released
before election(
comprised of 1
verification officer and
under whose 15
members will work)
Bureau of budgets utilized
by the political parties
during election campaign
and elections(comprised of
2 verification officers under
whose 20 members will
work)
Verification
Committee(2)
To take quick action on
culprits involved in
corruption(comprised of 2
officers under whose
supervision the cases will be
filed in court. The cases must
be undertaken for a
minimum period of 3
months or for a maximum of
6 months

6. Politics- A subject on which the whole country is
dependent- Not a part of Educational curriculum!
In today’s era, we have almost educational institute for all the subjects, but what
about Politics? Yes, we have political science in the curriculum but this subject
does not deal with pure politics . It only does with the political history as well as
system but doesn’t with “WHAT IS POLITICS!”
The increasing disinterest of youth population in India is having worse affects on
the Politics of India at a greater extent. Nobody wills to stand in the system and
look over it as new scope for career.

Breaking the norms: Launching The National College
of Politics
The idea, being wondrous, can achieve a new peak in the field of politics. The
National College of Politics is all about the concept of including Politics in the
mainstream of education in 21st cent. And beyond. The college will aim mainly on
breaking the cycle as drawn below:-

Self- defense
General studies of patriotism
Psychological studies of mind-sharpening (including mind-twisting games)

retired army personnel so as to make it the most effective in order to build the servicing
mindset of the students particular to the country.

9. Towards making a new India
Politics is something on which our whole country is dependent, It generates the leaders
who leads the biggest democracy, the second most populated nation and the one which
has unity in diversity
hence Here’s why it has to be an idol box. As discussed before, the various weaknesses
of the system, it is however diminishing the participation of honest popular activities as
well as honest people and you.
This slideshow represents a model which should be applied to change the whole system,
to get our real leaders who can actually lead us to the new heights of development, who
can make India the new superpower of this world in all terms. Those Leaders on whom we
can trust and express our pride. Yes, we need that power again to cop up with biggest ever
problem, to make India what she is, This time, this moment. Let it be how, but have to
