Mr. Naveen Jindal is a Member of Parliament, Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL), and a sports enthusiast. He is the youngest son of Late Sh. O.P. Jindal, the steel visionary and Minister of Power in the government of Haryana. At a very young age, Mr. Naveen Jindal has transformed JSPL, a moderately performing company in the steel sector, into a star performer. After consolidating its position as a leading player in the steel, power, mining and infrastructure sectors, JSPL has recently diversified into the oil & gas sector. Mr. Jindal is a management graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas, USA. Mr. Naveen Jindal is not only a successful entrepreneur but also a caring politician and an effective parliamentarian. He represents Haryana state’s Kurukshetra constituency in parliament. He started active participation in politics during his college days. He was the President of the Student Government and recipient of the ‘Student Leader of the Year Award’ - the highest student award at the University of Texas at Dallas. Weeding out corruption, stabilizing the population, promoting a clean environment and providing health and educational facilities in every nook and corner of his constituency are on top of his political agenda. His ideology is to incorporate the best practices of business management into politics. As issues of national pride and self-esteem have always been uppermost in his mind, Mr. Jindal single-handedly took up the cause of restoring in Indians a national pride, choosing the Tricolour as his symbol. As a result of his decade long crusade, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, in a historic judgment on 23rd January 2004 held that the right to fly the National Flag freely, with respect and dignity is a Fundamental Right of Every Indian Citizen.
Shri Jindal’s next campaign was successful when in December 2009 the Home Ministry agreed to a proposal made by him to fly the flag at night where the flag is installed on the monumental / giant pole with proper illumination. Taking it forward, he campaigned and in Feb 2010 got the Rules Committee of Indian Parliament through Hon’ble Speaker to allow the members of Parliament to display the National Flag as a lapel pin while seated in the House.
Mr. Jindal is a national record holder in skeet shooting and an accomplished Polo player. Currently, he is taking a lot of interest in promoting hockey, the national game of India.
