Rajendra Prasad
Rajendra Prasad (3 December 1884 – 28 February 1963) was an Indian politician, lawyer, journalist

government from 1947 to 1948. Upon independence in 1947, Prasad was elected as President of
the Constituent Assembly of India, which prepared the Constitution of India and which served as its

occasions. In 1957, Prasad was re-elected to the presidency, becoming the only president to serve
two full terms. Prasad stayed in office for the longest term of around 12 years. Post the completion
of his tenure, he quit the Congress and set up new guidelines for parliamentarians which are still
followed.

Kamleshwari Devi, was a devout woman who would tell stories from the Ramayana and
Mahabharata to her son. He was the youngest child and had one elder brother and three elder
sisters. His mother died when he was a child, and his elder sister then took care of him.
[4][5][6][7]
After the completion of traditional elementary education, he was sent to the Chhapra District
School. Meanwhile, in June 1896, at the early age of 12, he was married to Rajavanshi Devi. He,

Early life
Student life
Prasad joined the Presidency College, Calcutta in
1902, initially as a science student. He passed the
F. A. under the University of Calcutta in March
1904 and then graduated with a first division fr om
there in March 1905.
[8]
Impressed by his intellect,
an examiner once commented on his answer
sheet that the "examinee is better than
examiner".
[9]
Later he decided to focus on the
study of arts and did his M.A. in Economics with a
first division from the University of Calcutta in
December 1907. There he lived with his brother in
the Eden Hindu Hostel. A devoted student as well
as a public activist, he was an active member of
The Dawn Society.
[10]
It was due to his sense of
duty towards his family and education that he
refused to join Servants of India Society, as it was
during that time when his mother had died as well
as his sister became a widow at the age of
nineteen and had to return to her parents' home.
Prasad was instrumental in the formation of the
Bihari Students Conference in 1906 in the hall of
Patna College. It was the first or ganisation of its
