HISTORICAL LEADER IN INDIA

2. Kumarasami Kamaraj
Nadar is one such
personality. He devoted
his entire life to serving
the country’s people.
Kamaraj was born on
15 July 1903 in Tamil
nadu which is observed
as ‘Growth of Education
.
Kumarasami Kamaraj is well
known as "Kingmaker" in
Indian politics. From the year
1954-1963, he was the chief
minister of Tamil Nadu
Joined the National
Freedom Movement.

5. 1. Today he is talked about for making primary
education completely free.
2. In fact, he felt that a major part of his life’s mission
was fulfilled by this one act.
3. The mid-day meal scheme, one of the most
successful scheme in India .
4. He re-established over 5000 closed schools of Tamil
Nadu state.
5. While during British regime, the education was a
mere 7 percent, in Kamaraj’s period it rose to a
whopping 37%.

6. THE
UNIQUE
CHIEF
MINISTER
 Kamaraj was instrumental in building many
irrigation dams, linking the villages by all-
weather roads and constructing hospitals in
remote places. Major irrigation schemes were
planned in Kamaraj’s period .
 Long term loans with 25% subsidy were given to
farmers.
 Apart from farmers who are having dry lands
were given oil engines, electric pump sets on
installment basis.

7. LEGACY
 Kamaraj was a rarity in Indian politics, and
undoubtedly the tallest leader in Tamil Nadu.
 A school dropout and freedom fighter who went
on to become the Congress president despite
knowing little Hindi and no English
 He played the kingmaker in national politics for
over two decades by picking two prime ministers
– lal bahadur shastri and Indira Gandhi.

8. THE MAN
WHO
REFUSED
TO
BECOME
THE
PRIME
MINISTER
OF INDIA
 He himself rejected the post of PM. He wasn't a
power hungry man, he was a man of vision. I
would say it was not a big mistake since after
him Shastriji took position in the center. He was
one of the most powerful and humble politician
ever in the Indian History.
