Yudhvir Singh

Yudhvir Singh (born 1897, Jaipur, d. 1983, New Delhi) was an Indian freedom fighter, politician and homeopathic doctor.

Singh studied in Agra and Allahabad. He began practicing homeopathic medicine in 1920. In 1928 he set up a Homoeopathic Free Dispensary in Chandni Chowk, Delhi (the dispensary was later renamed as the 'Dr. Yudhvir Singh Homoeopathic Trust'), with the help of Mir Mohammed Hussain Sahib.

At the time, Singh was a leader of the Indian National Congress in Delhi. He took part in the pro-independence struggles of 1932, 1941 and the Quit India Movement of 1942. During the campaign for independence, Singh was jailed for four years and nine months.

He served as Minister, Health and Rehabilitation, Industries and Labour and Rationing and Jail in the Delhi State government between 1955 and 1956. During his tenure the Delhi Homeopathic Act was passed (the act came into force on 1 October 1956).

Singh was presented with Padma Shri in 1971 and later with Padma Bhushan in 1977 by the government.
