India mourns the passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister who served two terms from 2004 to 2014, and was known for his economic reforms and visionary leadership. Dr. Singh passed away on December 26, 2024, at the age of 92 in AIIMS Delhi.

His mortal remains were moved to the AICC headquarters in New Delhi, where members of the public and political figures gathered to pay their last respects. Today, December 28, Dr. Singh’s state funeral is being held at Nigambodh Ghat, with full state honors, in recognition of his invaluable contributions to the nation.

Tributes from Leaders and the Public

Prominent Congress leaders, as well as public figures across political parties, have expressed their condolences. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge described Dr. Singh as "a statesman who led with dignity and wisdom." Former Prime Minister Narendra Modi called him "a stalwart of Indian politics whose work changed the trajectory of India’s economy."

Dr. Singh’s leadership during India’s economic liberalization in 1991 as Finance Minister earned him a reputation as the architect of modern India’s growth. His tenure as Prime Minister witnessed significant policy achievements, including the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and the Civil Nuclear Agreement with the U.S.

Legacy of Dr. Manmohan Singh

Dr. Singh’s calm demeanor, dedication to public service, and commitment to inclusive growth have left an indelible mark on India’s political and economic landscape.

As the nation bids farewell to one of its most respected leaders, the public is invited to reflect on his legacy and his vision for a stronger, more equitable India.
