Was misconstrued on Yale University degree: Irani


New Delhi, Aug 11 (IANS): Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Smriti Irani Monday said her statement on the degree from Yale University in the United States was "misconstrued".

"Unfortunate that statement of my participation in a leadership programme and certificate thereafter was misconstrued," Irani said in a tweet.

Speaking at the India Today Woman Summit 2014, Saturday, Irani said: "In that kitty of mine where people call me 'anpad' (illiterate), I do have a degree from the Yale University as well which I can bring out and show how Yale celebrated my leadership capacities."

However, an official from the Yale University told IANS it was a "certificate" and not a "degree" programme.

The official confirmed Irani was part of the seventh edition of "India Yale Parliamentary Leadership Programme", held June 19-27, 2013.

About 70 parliamentarians have received such certificates.

A total of 11 Indian members of parliament went to the campus in New Haven, Connecticut to complete a six-day leadership programme with the Yale faculty.

Irani was involved in a controversy over her educational qualifications after becoming human resource development minister when it emerged she made contradictory declarations in her election affidavits.

    I am sure some good University can confer Doctorate on Smriti Irani....because of her roles in Saas bhi Kabie Bahu thi....because watching her role used to soothe the minds of many housewives and old ladies and old men and even youngsters.....and then Mademoiselle Smriti Irani can be addressed officially as Dr.Smrithi Irani....legally and lawfully.

    The degree or level of education teaches the ethics build self confidence enhance decision making develop leadership qualities and never let you off the track. If you are talking about education of your time which was merely passing exams it is not the same today. Today education is incomplete without extra curricular activities which ensure overall development of the personality of the person. She have power for sure but may not be used in the right direction or neglected in one or area or other

    Nanda continues to teach in utive education programs at Harvard University. Ashish Nanda has to take directives from our HRD Minister Smriti Irani.

    Education and literacy are two different matters...
    In a nation where there are more illiterate than literate it needs a human minister and not necessarily an educated one...
    Probably less educated may realise the future literacy with more zeal...

    Dear Pyari BAHU,
    Instead of fooling the innocent Indian peoples step down and give resign. Don't do like Yediyurappa.

    ..from the day one news traders are behind SMRITI..there are some section of people who think she is not fit for job but they conveniently forgot that a bar waitress run whole Govt even bypassing PM!!..SMRITI during interview trying to convince that she even attended a YALE UNIVERSITY course..its a degree or certificate its a different issue..atleast after this witch hunt SMRITI should learn that when you are truthful dont waste time to prove it..this MODI mantra..One who believes you always agree with you, one who hate you always disagree with you..

    You can always tell fake stories who believes in you and if they hate you just do the fake encounter. Sounds familiar Ramesha ?

    'Anpad' Minister would have learnt the difference between certificate and Degree last night.

    She is a Ms. Feku and must step down from such a honorable post. In fact she should have been booted out for having lied in a sworn affidavit during elections.

    Her ignorance and foot-in-mouth has made her look like a loser. Its a shame and pity that the future of Indian students is in the hands of a semi literate lady who doesn't know the meaning of Degree.

    Had she stayed for two more weeks that certificate could have converted into Doctorate.

    Yes Jeewan,not Smart OVER SMART. Her level of thinking is poor. But her English she learnt in Mac Donald's perhaps is pretty good compared to P. M. Modi or any of his ministers. She must start again from LKG.

    When she has stated categorically that she "has a degree", she has made a false statement. Now she is scared that it would be taken against her. Now she wants to justify. If a MP and minister makes a false statement in public, what should be the punishment???? She should be subjected to same punishment. If she has any dignity, she should resign for having made a false statement.

    Instead of bluffing and fooling Smrithi Irani can ask the IITs under her to issue her a degree certificate so that she can continue as HRD minister. She must have realized by now that running a ministry is not as easy as acting in serials.
