Haryana assembly on Monday passed a bill under which candidates for panchayat elections in the state will have to ensure academic qualifications and fulfil other conditions. With this, Haryana became the second state after Rajasthan to fix educational and other qualifications for the candidates contesting Panchayat elections. Under the new bill, contesting candidates will require a minimum qualification of matriculation (Class 10). Scheduled caste and women cabdidates will require middle pass (class 8) qualification and women candidates from scheduled caste category will have to be at least class 5 pass. The bill was passed on the last day of the assembly`s monsoon session amid a walkout by the opposition Congress legislators.
Haryana government has also made it compulsory for candidates filing their nominations in the upcoming panchayat elections to obtain a no objection certificate (NOC) from the electricity department to prove that they don't owe any dues. The officials feel that the move would help to expedite recovery of outstanding electricity bills in rural areas.
