18 June - Anugrah Narayan Singh birth anniversary

 



Anugrah Narayan Singh, born on 18 June 1887, in the small village of Poiwan in Bihar, was a distinguished Indian freedom fighter, political leader, and statesman. He was an instrumental figure in India's struggle for independence, closely associated with Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Rajendra Prasad. Singh played a key role in the Champaran Satyagraha, which was pivotal in the fight against British colonial rule.

After India gained independence, Anugrah Narayan Singh became the first Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister of Bihar. In these roles, he was dedicated to improving the state's educational infrastructure, economic policies, and overall development. His initiatives in rural development, education reform, and social justice significantly contributed to the progress of Bihar.

Singh's commitment to public service and his efforts to uplift the underprivileged and marginalized sections of society have left a lasting legacy. Anugrah Narayan Singh passed away on 05 July 1957, but his contributions to Indian society and governance continue to be remembered and celebrated.
