Dr. Singh, born on September 26, 1932, in a village in the Punjab province of undivided India, served as India’s 13th Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014. Renowned for his intellectual prowess and integrity, Singh was instrumental in steering the country’s economic reforms as the Finance Minister under the PV Narasimha Rao government in 1991.

He also held several key positions, including Chief Economic Advisor in 1972 and Governor of the Reserve Bank of India from 1982 to 1985. Singh retired from the Rajya Sabha earlier this year in April, concluding a 33-year tenure in the Upper House.

Tributes have poured in from across the nation as leaders and citizens mourn the loss of a statesman who dedicated his life to the service of India.
