“Dr. Rajendra Prasad: Architect of Independent India’s Presidency”

Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India, played a monumental role in shaping the newly independent nation. Born in 1884 in Bihar, he was deeply influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and became an active participant in the freedom movement. After Independence, his integrity, wisdom, and leadership earned him the honor of presiding over the Constituent Assembly, where India’s Constitution was drafted. In 1950, he became the first President of the Republic of India, serving two terms—the only President to do so. Known for his simplicity and dedication, Dr. Prasad helped strengthen India’s democratic foundation during its formative years.
