00:00At the age of 92, India's former Prime Minister and economist Dr. Manmohan Singh took his last breath.
00:10His contribution to Indian politics and economic reforms will always be remembered.
00:14How did he decide the journey from the RBI government to the finance ministry?
00:18Let's tell you everything in detail in this video.
00:21In 1972, Manmohan Singh was made the country's chief economic advisor.
00:25Before that, he was a professor at the Delhi School of Economics of Delhi University.
00:29This was the time when the country's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi chose Manmohan Singh as the country's economic advisor.
00:35There was one important reason for this.
00:37Before that, Manmohan Singh had worked in the UNCTAD.
00:40After that, seeing Singh's talent as an economist, he was appointed as the advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
00:48Indira Gandhi saw his talent and made him the country's chief economic advisor.
00:54After being the chief economic advisor for about four years and being the secretary in the finance ministry for a few days, the whole country saw his talent.
01:02After that, the emergency started and later elections were held.
01:06So, Indira Gandhi's government fell and became the government of the new Janta Party.
01:10After a few years, it also fell.
01:12Later, Indira Gandhi came back to power once again.
01:15And then what happened?
01:16Indira Gandhi once again showed her trust in Manmohan Singh and she was put in the country's planning commission.
01:21She worked in the planning commission from 1980 to 1982.
01:25After that, Manmohan Singh became the governor of the Reserve Bank of India on the basis of his talent and economic intelligence.
01:31It can be said that he is the first and only Prime Minister of the country whose signature is also visible on the country's notes.
01:38RBI Governor was appointed under Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and he remained on this post until 1985.
01:46It is said that while staying on the post of RBI, he had a lot of relations with his country's incumbent Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
01:53Then after 1985, he worked on many positions from the Planning Commission to UGC.
01:58But by the time of 1991, there had been many changes in the country's politics to the economy.
02:04The Prime Minister of the country was P. V. Narasimha Rao, who was running the government of Gatbandhan at that time.
02:10The economic condition of the country was very bad.
02:12In such a situation, P. V. Narasimha Rao handed the reins of the country's economy and finance to Manmohan Singh.
02:17In June 1991, Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao elected Manmohan Singh as Finance Minister.
02:23After that, the impact of the liberalization that he started in the country was seen by the whole country.
02:28So, the journey from RBI Governor to Finance Minister was a big deal for Manmohan Singh.
02:36But despite this, Manmohan Singh has contributed a lot to this country through economic reforms.
