Here’s a look at the background of the three awardees:

Chaudhary Charan Singh

Singh was born in 1902 into a middle-class farmer family in Noorpur, Meerut district, Uttar Pradesh. After completing his postgraduate studies at Agra University in 1925, he qualified as a lawyer and later opened an office in Ghaziabad.

He was initially elected from Chhaprauli to the UP Legislative Assembly in 1937. He later served as the constituency’s representative in 1946, 1952, 1962, and 1967.

He was placed in charge of the Departments of Justice and Information after being named Cabinet Minister in the State in June 1951. Later, in 1952, he was appointed to the position of Minister of Revenue and Agriculture in the Sampurnanand Cabinet.

In Sucheta Kripalani’s Ministry, Charan Singh was Minister of Agriculture and Forests from 1962 to 1963.

With the backing of the Congress Party, he was appointed Chief Minister of the UP a second time in February 1970 following the breakup of the Congress. On October 2, 1970, President’s Rule was implemented in the State, however.

PV Narasimha Rao

Born in Karimnagar, Andhra Pradesh, in 1921, Rao attended Osmania University in Hyderabad, Bombay University, and Nagpur University.

As a Congress leader, he served as prime minister from 1991 to 1996 for the entire five-year mandate. He is credited with bringing about economic reforms.

As a renowned politician, Narasimha Rao held important positions as an agriculturist and advocate.

Rao showed a deep interest in a variety of subjects while holding a number of positions, including General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, and Minister of Law and Information. He also served as India’s minister of external affairs for a while.

MS Swaminathan

Swaminathan, who was born in 1925, is well-known as the Father of the Green Revolution. Both the Coimbatore Agricultural College and the Maharajas College in Thiruvananthapuram awarded him a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Sciences and Zoology.

The development of high-yielding paddy varieties by Swaminathan had been instrumental in enabling farmers in India to increase production.

His vision was to eradicate poverty and hunger from the planet. Known for his support of sustainable development and biodiversity preservation, the United Nations Environment Programme has dubbed him “the Father of Economic Ecology.”

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
