Answers
Answer:
Kumaraswamy Kamaraj was a powerful Indian politician, activist and statesman who played an important role in pre and post-Independent politics. Born in a moderate middle-class family, Kamaraj’s tryst with politics began early. His increasing interest in the country’s political system finally culminated when he became a full time worker of the Congress during India’s struggle for independence. Kamaraj’s humble beginning did not deter him as he persistently worked to contribute actively to the Congress’ struggle to overthrow the foreign rule.

Under his administration, Madras propelled forward and prospered. The education rate which was merely 7% rose to the magnanimous 37% with opening of new schools and education reforms.

Interestingly, Kamaraj continued to contribute even after his premiership, as President of the Indian National Congress. For his immense contribution, he was decorated with country’s highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna, posthumously.
