C. Subrahmanyam

Chidambaram Subramaniam was born on 30 January, 1910, in Senguttaipalayam, a village in Coimbatore district, Presidency of Fort St. George (present-day Tamil Nadu). He studied physics at Presidency College, University of Madras, and later law at Madras Law College. As a member of the Indian National Congress, he held important positions, including President of the Coimbatore District Congress Committee and Member of the Working Committee of the State Congress Committee. Subramaniam actively participated in the Quit India Movement, leading to his imprisonment in 1932 and again in 1941. He was elected to the Constituent Assembly from Madras and contributed to debates on the freedom of trade and commerce. After independence, Subramaniam played a significant role in shaping India's political and economic policies. He was elected to the Madras Legislative Assembly and held various cabinet positions, including those of Minister of Steel and Mines, Agriculture, Finance, and Defence. As Agriculture Minister in 1965, he initiated the transformative ‘Green Revolution,’ which greatly increased India's foodgrain production. Subramaniam later served as the Governor of Maharashtra from 1990 to 1993. For his contributions, he was awarded the Bharat Ratna by the Government of India in 1998.
