In a strategic move, the Congress has appointed Praveen Chakravarty, the current head of the Data Analytics Department, as the new Chairman of All India Professionals Congress (AIPC). This noteworthy development sees him taking over from Shashi Tharoor, the founder chairman of the organization and Member of Parliament for Thiruvananthapuram.

Mr. Chakravarty acknowledges the significant contributions made by Mr. Tharoor, recognizing the challenges of stepping into such a role. AIPC, conceptualized by former Congress President Rahul Gandhi in 2017, serves as a supplementary organization to the main party, providing a platform for professionals keen on engaging in politics.

Building on Shashi Tharoor’s Legacy

Expressing gratitude for the groundwork laid by Shashi Tharoor, Praveen Chakravarty emphasizes the need to transform AIPC into a formidable force. Tharoor’s leadership has successfully organized professionals into a cohesive group, and Chakravarty aims to build on this foundation.

In a statement, Chakravarty underlines the historical significance of professionals in shaping the Congress party, citing examples from the pre-independence era. He notes that iconic figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Lal Lajpat Rai, and others were professionals who dedicated themselves to India’s independence struggle.

AIPC’s Vision: Professionals in Nation-Building

Chakravarty envisions AIPC as a platform for professionals engaged in nation-building through both practical actions and the exchange of ideas. He highlights the diminishing presence of professionals in the All India Congress Committee (AICC) and stresses the importance of their active involvement in the current socio-political landscape.

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is cited as an example of a quintessential professional who contributed significantly to modern India. Chakravarty urges professionals to step up in the face of challenges to uphold the diverse, democratic values that define India.
