The 1925 born
Raghubir Singh hailed from Dhaulpur in
Punjab
and was united in marriage in 1937, to Agya Kaur. Upon completion of
his preliminary studies, he joined the air force but after retiring
while still in his youth, he served in the animal husbandry
department. He was known for his diligence, honesty and efficiency.
The then CM of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, personally ensured that
he was posted in Palampur, then part of Punjab, to oversee the
special programs drafted by the department for that area. He later
served at Kot Khalsa,
Amritsar
too and then dabbled in farming in UP's Terai region.
Sardar Raghubir
Singh had suffered a stroke but battled for his life for eighteen
days before bidding the final goodbye to this mortal world.
