Khatik was born on February 27, 1954, into a very poor family in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. Through hard work, he earned a doctorate from Sagar University. His life has been full of struggles, including working as a bicycle puncture repairman and repairing vehicles to fund his education. In his early days, he would travel around his constituency on a scooter.
Khatik holds a Master's degree in Economics and a Ph.D. in Child Labor from Dr. Harisingh Gour University in Sagar. Since childhood, he has been an active member of the RSS. In 1975, he actively participated in the Total Revolution movement led by Jayaprakash Narayan.
The 2024 Lok Sabha election marks Khatik's eighth win from the Tikamgarh constituency. His journey from a humble background to becoming a Union Minister is a testament to his dedication and hard work.
