BHOPAL: The Madhya Pradesh government’s official website seems to give wrong information about the education of at least two ministers — it lists them as graduates whereas their affidavits for the 2018 assembly election say they didn’t finish graduation.Six of the 28 cabinet ministers in Madhya Pradesh aren’t graduates, and the website says so. But the ones with information mismatch are food and civil supplies minister Pradhuman Singh Tomar and energy minister Priyavrat Singh.Tomar’s election affidavit says he completed his higher secondary from Bhushan HS School in Gwalior , but the government website says he is a graduate. Similarly, Priyavrat Singh is a ‘commerce graduate’, as per the website, but his nomination papers with the EC say he studied till BA second year from Devi Ahilya Bai University, Indore There is a grey area regarding finance minister Tarun Bhanot. His affidavit says he did his first and second year BE-civil from Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University, Durg, but the government website says he “entered politics while pursuing engineering”. It doesn’t say whether he completed his BE degree.Additional chief secretary, department of public relations, M Gopal Reddy said he would look into the matter and rectify it.The other three ministers of the Kamal Nath cabinet who are not graduates are labour minister Mahendra Singh Sisodia, mining minister Pradeep Jaiswal and women and child development minister Imarti Devi. The website lists their education correctly — Sisodia ‘pursued BSc till second year’, Jaiswas has a diploma in civil engineering and Imarti Devi is ‘HS pass’. Imarti Devi had landed in controversy on Republic Day when she failed to read her speech and handed it to the collector. She later said she was unwell.On the other end of the spectrum, there are some highly educated ministers in the Kamal Nath cabinet. Two of them are doctors — culture and medical education minister Vijay Laxmi Sadho and school education minister Prabhuram Choudhary — while cooperatives, parliamentary affairs minister Govind Singh has a BAMS degree. Urban development and housing minister Jaivardhan Singh is a masters in public administration while agriculture minister Sachin Subhash Yadav is a commerce graduate.
