Vishnu Dayal Ram

In the landscape of Indian politics, few figures have made as significant an impact in their local communities while also contributing to national debates as Vishnu Dayal Sharma. Born on July 23, 1951, in Nainijor, Buxar district, Bihar, to Mukha Ram and Ramrati Devi, Sharma's journey from a small village to the corridors of power in New Delhi is a testament to his dedication and service. Married to Pushpa Dayal, he is a proud father of three, balancing his political and personal life with remarkable finesse.

Sharma's political career, marked by a commitment to public service, saw a significant milestone when he was elected to the Lok Sabha from the Palamu constituency as a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate in the 2019 general elections. Demonstrating his party's confidence in his leadership and public service, he has been nominated for the 2024 general elections from the same constituency. His roles are not just limited to electoral politics; Sharma is actively involved in key parliamentary committees, contributing to shaping national policies on public accounts, home affairs, and parliamentary rules.

Sharma's contributions extend beyond the political arena into impactful social work. He is notably involved with the Engineered Food for Life programme, an initiative aimed at combating food insecurity among the less privileged by providing them with nutritious and affordable food options. This initiative highlights his dedication to addressing grassroots issues affecting the marginalized sections of society.

Moreover, Sharma's engagement with the Bansidhar Mahotsav has significantly boosted tourism in Nagar Bansidhar, showcasing his ability to blend cultural promotion with economic development. His interests are diverse, ranging from reading books on geopolitics and current affairs to actively participating in sports. A former representative of Patna University and the National Police Academy in sports such as cricket, hockey, and archery, Sharma's multifaceted personality enriches his public service.
