Atal Bihari Vajpayee: Best PM of India ?

 Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a well known former prime minister of our country is no more with us. He was elected as the prime minister in 1996 for only 13 days and then again in 1998 he was the prime minister for 13 months and he completed his full term between 1999-2004. He was the 1st non congress prime minister who completed the full term.

During his tenure India has seen such a great development that according to me he should be known as one of the best prime minister of india. If you want to know the intention of a politician how good or bad he is then you should look at his focus on the basic fundamentals like education, healthcare, electricity, road and water. Atalji was one such politician who used to focus on such issues especially education. He revolutionised the education sector in 2001 ny launching the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan. under Sarva Siksha Abhiyan every child between the age of 6-14 years will be given free and compulsory education and this scheme turned to be very successful, school drop out rates decreased , enrollment rates increased and how much was it successful that you see on the basis if data and statistics. In 1985 millions of kids of our country used to not study and were out of the primary school and In 2001 Sarva Siksha Abhiyan was launched and after that Number of children out of school dropped down quickly by 2006 this number was left to just 4 millions. To bring such a big change in i years is not less then any miracle.

Atalji government even declared that the free education in our country is every child's right by passing 86 constitutional amendments.

Independence Movement

His activism started in Gwalior with Arya Kumar Sabha, the youth wing of the Arya Samaj movement, of which he became the general secretary in 1944. He also joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in 1939 as a swayamsevak, or volunteer. Influenced by Babasaheb Apte he attended the Officers Training Camp of the RSS during 1940 to 1944, becoming a pracharak (RSS terminology for a full-time worker) in 1947. He gave up studying law due to the partition riots. He was sent to Uttar Pradesh as a vistarak (a probationary pracharak) and soon began working for the newspapers of Deendayal Upadhayay: Rashtradharma (a Hindi monthly),  (a Hindi weekly), and the dailies Swadesh and Veer Arjun.

By 1942, at the age of 16 years, Vajpayee became an active member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS). Although the RSS had chosen not to participate in the Quit India Movement, in August 1942, Vajpayee and his elder brother Prem were arrested for 24 days during the Quit India Movement. He was released after giving a written statement that while he was a part of the crowd, he did not participate in the militant events in Bateshwar on 27 August 1942. Throughout his life, including after he became Prime Minister, Vajpayee has labelled the allegation a false rumour.
