Early life and background
Raman Singh was born on 15 October 1952 in Kawardha, then part of Madhya Pradesh. He studied Ayurvedic medicine at the Government Ayurveda College in Raipur and earned a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine. After finishing his medical education he chose to practice in rural communities, often charging nominal fees and treating poor patients without charge, which earned him a reputation as a community-minded physician.

Career
Singh entered public life in the mid-1970s when he joined the Bharatiya Jana Sangh as a youth member and led the local youth wing in Kawardha. His formal electoral career began later: he was elected to the state legislative assembly in 1990 and re-elected in 1993. During the 1990s he also served on the Public Accounts Committee while an MLA.

In 1999 he transitioned to national politics, winning the Rajnandgaon seat and becoming a member of the 13th Lok Sabha. That same year he was appointed Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, a post he held through 2003 during the government led by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Following the creation of the new state of Chhattisgarh, Singh became the state president of the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2003 and was sworn in as Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh that year. He was re-elected to the chief ministership in 2008 and again in 2013, serving three consecutive terms. His political activity continued into the 2020s: in 2023 he won election to the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly from Rajnandgaon.

Public profile

India Today placed him at the top of its ranking of Indian chief ministers in 2005. Under his administration, Chhattisgarh’s efforts on human development for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes were acknowledged by the United Nations, and in 2008 he received a national public service award presented by the then Chief Justice of India.

Within state and national politics, Singh has been associated with law-and-order initiatives against armed insurgent groups, including actions and policies undertaken during the mid-2000s.
