Born on April 29, 1946, at Gaurela in modern-day Marwahi district in Chhattisgarh to school teacher Kashi Prasad Jogi and Kanti Mani, Ajit Jogi was a gold medalist in mechanical engineering from National Institute of Technology, Bhopal, then a regional engineering college called the Maulana Azad College of Technology (MACT). In the 1950s, a young boy of around 10 years of age came to Raipur from his native Pendra Road town by train. He roamed the town’s streets on his father’s shoulders before he took him to a public meeting to be addressed by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. A decade later, the young boy, by then a gold medalist mechanical engineer, had started working at the town’s engineering college as a lecturer and covered the streets of the city on his bicycle. At the age of 22, he qualified for the IPS and two years later cracked the Union Public Service Commissioner (UPSC) to join the IAS in his home state Madhya Pradesh, where he was the topper in his batch. Ajit Jogi has done all- from pursuing engineering to clearing IPS and from clearing IAS to being the first Chief Minister of Chhatisgarh. Politician to the core, Jogi is out to try his destiny, on his own. This episode of Mukhyamantri by the editor of The Lallantop Saurabh Dwivedi answers all the why's and how's of Ajit's story.
