Answer 1

hello,
Kumarasami Kamaraj Nadar is one such personality. He devoted his entire life to serving the country’s people. His birthday falls on July 15, which is observed as ‘Growth of Education Day’ in recognition of his yeoman service in the field of youth education in Tamil Nadu.
April 13, 1919, is a black day in Indian history. The British administration ruthlessly opened fire on a peaceful assembly of people at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar killing nearly a thousand people and injuring many.

He was a bachelor but embraced all children as his own. He understood the problems of people living in rural areas and the need for nourishment for growing children. He started the scheme of mid-day meals in schools, which served as a precursor to many such welfare schemes by governments in several States.
Kamaraj died at his home, on 2 October 1975. He was aged 72.when kamaraj died due to heart attack during his night sleep,there was some odd hundred rupees and two pair of dhothies and khadhi shirts only was with him as his belongings such a politician lived in simple life we will never get hereafter


The mid-day meal scheme, one of the most successful scheme in India was first implemented in post independent India by Kamaraj in Tamilnadu. The vigour with which he implemented these schemes that benefitted millions of poor lifting themselves out of poverty, the visionary leadership he had for his party besides and the good governance he provided is arguably unmatched. Even rival political parties have Dr Kamaraj’s governance model as a benchmark to be achieved, whether anyone has achieved or not is a question that can be debated.
Kamaraj removed the controversial family vocation based Hereditary Education Policy introduced by Rajaji. He reopened the 6000 schools closed earlier for financial reasons and also added 12000 more schools. The State made immense strides in education and trade. New schools were opened, so that poor rural students were to walk no more than 3 miles (4.8 km) to their nearest school. Better facilities were added to existing ones. No village remained without a primary school and no panchayat without a high school. Kamaraj strove to eradicate illiteracy by introducing free and compulsory education up to the eleventh standard. He introduced the Midday Meal Scheme to provide at least one meal per day to the lakhs of poor school children (first time in the world). He introduced free school uniforms to weed out caste, creed and class distinctions among young minds.
