The percentage of the population interested in matters related to politics is relatively less. Mainly as they feel the need does not arise in their daily lives, some topics need everybody's undivided attention, and that is education. Posts like the education minister and finance minister of each state go a long way as they have many responsibilities. The article covers the details of the Education Minister of Rajasthan, Govind Singh Dotasara, his personal life, education, political career, and achievements.

Current Education Minister of Rajasthan

It is not to many's attention that the Ministry of Education in India is currently divided into two separate departments. These are the Department of School Education and Literacy, in which people's roles include being responsible for organizing and funding various aspects of primary education and literacy. Then the second is called the Higher Education Department, which we all know deals with both secondary and post-secondary educational efforts.

The Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Human Resources Development is headed by one of the cabinet-ranked ministers as a member of the Council of Ministers itself. Within the Ministry of Education exists the Department of School Education and Literacy, which is confusing. But the sub-department of the Ministry of Education is mostly responsible for primary education, both the formal and the non-formal setting. The stated goal of the current Department of School Education and Literacy aims to offer much elementary education across the country. In the simplest of terms, the department aims to create a good universal elementary education system.

The Department of Higher Education, which is another subcategory of the Ministry of Education of India, is also responsible for providing and improving secondary and post-secondary educational systems present in the country. The department is also empowered to offer grants to universities and academic institutions as per their wish, so the issuance of grants is initiated based on the advice that the University Grants Commission of India gives.
