New Delhi:
Union minister Smriti Irani, who visited Amethi today for the first time since the Lok Sabha election, shared that she is currently pursuing a Doctorate degree from University of California, Berkeley. She, however, did not disclose the subject of her thesis, saying it was “a discussion for another time”.
Asked about the ongoing buzz about her “study break” in political circles and when she is expected to get her degree, the actor-turned political leader laughed.
“It is my good fortune that the Prime Minister always encourages me to have knowledge on various subjects. He said studies should not be limited only to one’s department,” Ms Irani said.
“I am fortunate that I have been able to study fin-tech in Berkeley and studied Business Ethics from Judge Business School in Cambridge University. I have been asked to be a guest lecturer in Berkeley and have been a guest lecturer at both IIM Bodh Gaya and Udaipur campuses for two-three years. However, my political career and field of study are different,” she said.
