Kamaraj - A true leader

He was a high school drop out, due to financial conditions of his family as his father died early. He always deplored missing his education. Thats why the when he later become the chief minister of tamil nadu, he gave free education to everyother kid in his province, later he introduced the mid day meals scheme to stop any kid getting dropped our just to earn his/her own food. He was the only tamil to reach the top post of a national party ever, he was elected as the president of Indian National Congress in 1963. At that time itself he felt, the congress men are lured by the the power and misusing it, hence he told all senior minister to quit the cabinet and strenghthen the party. Had he got his education properly, he could have been more decisive and pragmatic. On this wonderful day of his birthday, on honouring this great selfless leader, let us all make it a point to help giving education to someone who could be a kamaraj oneday.
