Born on September 26, 1932, Manmohan Singh was an eminent economist and served as the Reserve Bank of India Governor from 1982 to 1985. He was India’s 13th Prime Minister, holding office from 2004 to 2014. Between 1991 and 1996, Singh served as India’s Finance Minister, during which he played a pivotal role in implementing comprehensive economic reforms that earned him worldwide recognition.
For many, his name remains synonymous with the transformative changes of that era. His government introduced landmark initiatives such as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), later renamed MGNREGA, and the Right to Information Act (RTI) in 2005, which significantly improved transparency between the government and the public.
