October 2nd is the birth anniversary of both Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. MBAUniverse.com presents a column by management author and thinker Sandeep Singh on what we can learn from the humble and unassuming leader - Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Lal Bahadur Shastri (1904-1966) was a product of the independence movement. He was jailed for first time in 1931 and after that, several times. Though he has not been recognised as one of the front ranking leaders of that time, the vision he brought into his job as the Prime Minister of India during his short tenure in 1964-66 was born out of this back ground. When he became the Prime Minister of India, the most important item on the nation’s agenda besides defence, was food.
Speaking on All India Radio on 10th October 1965, the Prime Minister appealed to the farmer to produce more, to the trader to market supplies at fair price, and to the consumer to exercise greater restrain on consumption. He reminded the nation that dependence on food imports undermined the country’s self confidence and self respect and gave the nation a new slogan – ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kisan’.
