PEOPLE FEATURE

MANMOHAN SINGH

Honorary Fellow

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was born on September 26, 1932, in a village in
the Punjab province of undivided India. Dr. Singh completed his Matriculation
examinations from the Punjab University in 1948. His academic career took him
from Punjab to the University of Cambridge, UK, where he earned a First Class
Honours degree in Economics in 1957. Dr. Singh followed this with a D. Phil in
Economics from Nuffield College at Oxford University in 1962. His book, “India’s
Export Trends and Prospects for Self-Sustained Growth” [Clarendon Press, Oxford,
1964] was an early critique of India’s inward-oriented trade policy.

Dr. Singh’s academic credentials were burnished by the years he spent on the
faculty of Punjab University and the prestigious Delhi School of Economics. He
had a brief stint at the UNCTAD Secretariat as well, during these years. This
presaged a subsequent appointment as Secretary General of the South Commission
in Geneva between 1987 and 1990.

In 1971, Dr. Singh joined the Government of India as Economic Advisor in the
Commerce Ministry. This was soon followed by his appointment as Chief Economic
Advisor in the Ministry of Finance in 1972. Among the many Governmental
positions that Dr. Singh has occupied are Secretary in the Ministry of Finance;
Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission; Governor of the Reserve Bank of
India; Advisor of the Prime Minister; and Chairman of the University Grants
Commission.

In what was to become the turning point in the economic history of independent
India, Dr. Singh spent five years between 1991 and 1996 as India’s Finance
Minister. His role in ushering in a comprehensive policy of economic reforms is
now recognized worldwide. In the popular view of those years in India, that
period is inextricably associated with the persona of Dr. Singh.

Among the many awards and honours conferred upon Dr. Singh in his public career,
the most prominent are India’s second highest civilian honour, the Padma
Vibhushan (1987); the Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Award of the Indian
Science Congress (1995); the Asia Money Award for Finance Minister of the Year
(1993 and 1994); the Euro Money Award for Finance Minister of the Year (1993),
the Adam Smith Prize of the University of Cambridge (1956); and the Wright’s
Prize for Distinguished Performance at St. John’s College in Cambridge (1955).
Dr. Singh has also been honoured by a number of other associations including the
Japanese Nihon Keizai Shimbun. Dr. Singh is a recipient of honorary degrees from
many universities including the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford.

Dr. Singh has represented India at many international conferences and in several
international organizations. He has led Indian Delegations to the Commonwealth
Heads of Government Meeting in Cyprus (1993) and to the World Conference on
Human Rights in Vienna in 1993.

In his political career, Dr. Singh has been a Member of India’s Upper House of
Parliament (the Rajya Sabha) since 1991, where he was Leader of the Opposition
between 1998 and 2004. Dr. Manmohan Singh was sworn in as Prime Minister on 22nd
May after the 2004 general elections and took the oath of office for a second
term on 22nd May 2009.
