Explanation:

According to Haryana Panchayati Raj (Amendment) Act, 2015, the minimum education qualification to contest Panchayat poll is Class X for general candidates, Class VIII pass for women and Dalits, Class V for Dalit women. We note here that in Haryana, 41 per cent of Scheduled Caste men have not passed class VIII; and 68 per cent of SC women have not made it to class V. Around 45 percent of rural households do not have a toilet and that figure roses to 55 percent among SC households.
