Early life
Prem Prakash Pandey was born on 8 March 1958 in Bhurwar, Thana-Bankata, District- Deoria, Uttar Pradesh. Mr Pandey hailed from a typical Indian Middle-class family- father was a service holder in Bhilai Steel Plant and mother as a home maker. He was 11 years younger than the Independent India, but was more worried and affected by the growth and political development in India. The gory emergence of NAxalite in the country and in his state had an indelible impact on him. Many other local and national occurrences affected him subconsciously and chiselled him, in later years, to contribute actively in nation-building.
Political Life
Prem Prakash Pandey began his political career in 1976 when he was pursuing education. One major political crisis which triggered his zeal to serve the nation was when India was reeling under the attack on Democracy in the garb of Emergency in 1975. He was imbued especially by Atalji during this phase. His first step into politics was when he decided to join Akhil Bharthi Vidhyarthi Parishad.He took this decision when he was only in Class 11. This very well exemplifies his deep conviction and commitment towards serving public and solving their maladies. In 1976, he officially joined politics in Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University. He gradually moved the ladder up with his grit and determination. In 1990, he won the first election and was entrusted with the charge of Minister of Education, Skill Development and Technical Education in undivided Madhya Pradesh.
In 1993, he became an Elected Member of Legislative Assembly and later in 1995, he was elected as Executive Member of BJP Yuva Morcha. A commendable milestone that he earned was to be elected as the Speaker Of Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha, on 22 December 2003

He wants the Youth to be empowered, practice positive developmental politics and be a conduit of Change. His campaigns such as #BaatBhilaiki received fervour with the locals of Bhilai. He is the only Minister in Chhattisgarh to initiate Facebook Live where people beforehand send their queries and their complaints were solved aftermath. He has exemplified his visionary attribute through his effort of solving the water woes of his constituency and earned the sobriquet like "Paaniwala Baba". He gave a new identity to Bhilai as he got IIT campus in Bhilai. It was the fruit of his persistent effort that Bhilai has become an educational hub. Akin to this, he is contemplating many other strategies to make Bhilai a smart as well as a city achieving sustainable growth
"Swacchata Utsav"
