Babu Jagjivan Ram Jayanti was celebrated across the region on 05 April
Babu Jagjivan Ram, populary known as “Babuji”, was a national leader, freedom fighter, and advocate for social justice.
He was born on April 5, 1908, in Chandwa village, Bihar to Sobhi Ram and Vasanti Devi.
Babu Jagjivan Ram holds the world record for being a parliamentarian for 50 uninterrupted years, from 1936 to 1986.
At the age of 28, he became a legislator in 1936, as a nominated member of the Bihar Legislative Council.
Babu Jagjivan Ram played a key role in the establishment of the All-India Depressed Classes League in 1935. This organisation was dedicated to achieving equality for the untouchables, a cause that Babuji was deeply committed to.
He also served as India's defence minister during the Indo-Pak war of 1971.
Jagjivan Ram left the Congress party in 1977 to protest against the Emergency imposed by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
He joined the Janata Party alliance along with his newly formed party, Congress for Democracy. He was later appointed as the deputy Prime Minister of India, a position he held from 1977 to 1979.
In addition, he is the longest-serving cabinet minister in Indian history, having served for a remarkable 30 years.
