MANOHAR SINGH GILL

MANOHAR SINGH GILL

Manohar Singh Gill, a former member of the Indian Administrative Service, served as an election commissioner, and later as the chief election commissioner of India from 1993 to 2001. His major achievement during this period was the introduction of electronic voting machines, with the commissions voter identity cards. These steps largely curbed the electoral malpractices prevailing till then. As a result, election results came to be accepted by all parties as fair. In 2004, he became a member of the Rajya Sabha from the Punjab, and in 2008, he was appointed the Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports. He continues to serve as member of the Rajya Sabha.
