Amarendra Dhari Singh

Amarendra Dhari Singh was born on 10 November 1959 in Patna, Bihar. He belongs to a prominent family from the Paliganj subdivision of Patna district. His parents were Pratap Dhari Singh and Urmila Singh, and he spent his early years in Bihar before pursuing higher education in Delhi.

He completed his higher education at Kirori Mal College, affiliated with the University of Delhi. Following his studies, Singh became involved in business and entrepreneurial ventures, particularly in the real estate and chemical sectors, which later formed the foundation of his financial and professional career.

Alongside his business activities, Singh engaged in philanthropic initiatives focused on education and social welfare. In 2015, he established the Urmila Singh–Pratap Dhari Sinha Foundation in Patna, which provides free coaching and support to economically disadvantaged students preparing for competitive examinations such as IIT and NIT entrance tests.

Singh formally entered national politics when he was nominated by the Rashtriya Janata Dal for the Rajya Sabha elections from Bihar in 2020. His nomination reflected the party’s strategy of selecting individuals with organisational and social influence to represent the state in Parliament.

After being elected to the Rajya Sabha, he became involved in parliamentary committee work. From 2020 onward, he served on several parliamentary committees, including the Committee on Chemicals and Fertilizers and the Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Defence, later joining the Committee on Health and Family Welfare.
