New Delhi ( Vivek Ojha ) : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shri Charan Singh was born in 1902 at Noorpur in Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh, in a middle class peasant family. He graduated in science in 1923, and did his post-graduation from Agra University in 1925. Also trained in law, he set up practice at Ghaziabad. He shifted to Meerut in 1929 and later joined the Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was first elected to the U.P. Legislative Assembly in 1937 from Chhaprauli, and represented the constituency in 1946, 1952, 1962 and 1967. He became Parliamentary Secretary in Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant\u2019s Government in 1946 and worked in various departments such as Revenue, Medical and Public Health, Justice, Information etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In June 1951, he was appointed Cabinet Minister in the State and given charge of the Departments of Justice and Information. Later he took over as the Minister for Revenue and Agriculture in the Cabinet of Dr. Sampurnanand in 1954. When he resigned in April 1959, he was holding charge of the Department of Revenue and Transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Shri C.B. Gupta\u2019s Ministry he was Minister for Home and Agriculture (1960). Shri Charan Singh served as Minister for Agriculture and Forests (1962-63) in Smt. Sucheta Kripalani\u2019s Ministry. He gave up the Department of Agriculture in 1965 and assumed charge of the Local Self-government department in 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After the Congress split, he became the Chief Minister of U.P. for the second time in February 1970 with the support of the Congress Party. However, President\u2019s Rule was imposed in the State on October 2, 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shri Charan Singh served Uttar Pradesh in various capacities and won a reputation as a hard taskmaster who would not tolerate inefficiency, nepotism and corruption in administration. A gifted parliamentarian and a pragmatist, Shri Charan Singh is known for his eloquence and courage of conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He was the chief architect of land reforms in U.P.; he took a leading part in formulation and finalisation of the Dept. Redemption Bill 1939, which brought great relief to rural debtors. It was also at his initiative that the salaries and other privileges enjoyed by Ministers in U.P. were drastically reduced. As Chief Minister he was instrumental in bringing about the Land Holding Act 1960 which was aimed at lowering the ceiling on land holdings to make it uniform throughout the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few political leaders in the country could match Shri Charan Singh in their command of popular will at the grass-roots level. A dedicated public worker and staunch believer in social justice, Shri Charan Singh\u2019s strength stemmed essentially from the confidence he enjoyed among millions of peasants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaudhary Charan Singh led a simple life and spent his spare time reading and writing. He was the author of several books and pamphlets, including \u2018Abolition of Zamindari\u2019, \u2018Co-operative Farming X-rayed\u2019, \u2018India\u2019s Poverty and its Solution\u2019, \u2018Peasant Proprietorship or Land to the Workers\u2019 and \u2018Prevention of Division of Holdings Below a Certain Minimum\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
