HISTORICAL LEADER IN INDIA

1. KUMARASWAMY KAMARAJ “KING MAKER”

2. introduction

3. WHY HE IS A SUCCESSFUL LEADER ?

4. The man who took education to the masses : 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%.

5. 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.

6. 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. 

7. 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.
