Shri Giriraj Singh Lotwada was a multifaceted personality who left an indelible mark on society. Born on October 16, 1958, in Lotwada village, Dausa district, he was the son of Thakur Sa. Kalyan Singh Ji, the Thikanedar of Kalyanval Lotwada.
He was an educationist with a passion for learning, holding degrees from renowned institutions, including I.S.C. from Cambridge University (then Agra University was affiliated), (link unavailable) from Rajasthan University, M.A. (History) from Madurai Kamraj University, and B.A.M.S. from Allahabad. He even completed his LL.B. degree in 2016, demonstrating his commitment to lifelong learning.
As a hardworking social worker, intense orator, and soft-spoken individual, Lotwada ji served as the President of Shri Rajput Sabha from 2010 to April 2021. Prior to this, he worked as General Secretary for 18 years, playing a crucial role in shaping the organization.
Under his leadership, the Rajput Sabha experienced significant growth, overcoming initial obstacles and creating a solid infrastructure. He introduced innovative initiatives, such as Diwali fairs, mass marriages, blood donation camps, and subsidized treatment at prominent hospitals, which greatly benefited society.
Lotwada ji was a visionary social thinker, scholar, and writer who penned numerous articles on social concerns and solutions. His book, Rajput Bhavishya Chintan, serves as a roadmap for the all-round development of Rajput society.
He stressed the importance of adapting to changing times, implementing reforms, and encouraging the younger generation to work hard and lead respectable lives. Unfortunately, his untimely passing due to Corona has left an irreparable void in society.
