CM as student
Kokila Pal said chief minister Mohan Yadav studied at Government Jiwajiganj School, Ujjain, from Class 9 to 12 from 1979 and 1981. She taught physics and Yadav was a science student.
Although he studied physics, he was more interested in biology. Since biology lab was located near physics lab, he often visited it. She said that Yadav was not active in politics during his school days but he played a leading role among the students. He would come forward to address the students' problems and lead his classmates.
