Meanwhile, Sharad Pawar, affectionately known as “Saheb,” was born on December 12, 1940, in Baramati area of Pune. Coming from a family rooted in the region, Pawar began his political journey at a young age. At just 24, he was elected as the president of the State Youth Congress, and five years later, he joined the State Cabinet.
Pawar served as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for a total of seven years during his 32 years in active politics. An advocate of economic liberalism, Pawar believes that large-scale investments leading to rapid economic development and employment generation are the key drivers of a nation’s global power and influence.
