Late Shri Madan Lal Khurana
The Madan Lal Khurana Foundation is inspired by the life, values, and public service legacy of Late Shri Madan Lal Khurana, one of Delhi’s most respected political leaders and the second Chief Minister of Delhi.
Born on 15 October, 1936 in Lyallpur, Punjab Province (undivided India), Shri Madan Lal Khurana migrated to Delhi with his family during the Partition of India in 1947. Growing up in a refugee family, he experienced firsthand the challenges of displacement, hardship, and rebuilding lives. These experiences shaped his lifelong commitment to public service and the welfare of ordinary citizens.
Known popularly as “Delhi Ka Sher”, he played a pivotal role in strengthening democratic governance and public participation in the National Capital. Following the restoration of the Delhi Legislative Assembly in 1993, he became the second Chief Minister of Delhi and led the first elected government of the modern National Capital Territory from 1993 - 1996.
During his public life, Khurana Ji was recognized for his grassroots connect, leadership, and commitment to infrastructure development, civic improvements, and citizen welfare. He was instrumental in expanding opportunities for Delhi’s growing population and championed policies aimed at improving the quality of life of residents across the city.
He later served as a Union Minister in the Government of India and as Governor of Rajasthan, continuing his contribution to public service at the national level.
