\n<\/section>\n
\nAs of 2015, states like Haryana and Rajasthan enacted laws requiring minimum educational qualifications for candidates contesting Panchayat elections. Haryana required matriculation for general category candidates and class 8th pass for women and Schedule Caste candidates contesting Sarpanch elections. Rajasthan required secondary school (Class 10) for Sarpanch candidates and middle school (Class 8) for Ward Panch candidates. Punjab and Karnataka did not have such state-wide mandatory educational requirements for Panchayat elections during that period.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThese laws sparked debate regarding the right to contest elections and the value of formal education in local governance. The Supreme Court of India upheld the validity of the Haryana law in 2015, stating that prescribing minimum educational qualifications is not unreasonable.
