Manmohan Singh served as India’s Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014 and was widely credited for spearheading key economic reforms during his tenure. He was also the Finance Minister under the P.V. Narasimha Rao government from 1991 to 1996, when India initiated large-scale economic liberalization that reduced state control over the economy.

Born in 1932 in Gah, Punjab (now in Pakistan), Singh rose from a humble background to become a distinguished economist before entering public life. He passed away in December 2024, leaving behind a legacy of economic transformation and integrity in public service.

Congress leaders and supporters across the country observed the birth anniversary with tributes, emphasizing Singh’s enduring influence on India’s economy and governance.
