Our Inspiration
Late Shri Ram Murti Ji
(08.02.1910 – 02.10.1988)
The SRMS Trust was established in the memory of Late Shri Ram Murti Ji, veteran freedom fighter, a true Gandhian, Ex
Parliamentarian and Ex-Minister, U.P. Govt.
Shri Ram Murti Ji was born on February 08, 1910 in a renowned zamindar family from the lineage of Sahu Thakur Dass at village
Dhaura of District Bareilly. After attaining the basic education from Bareilly, he completed graduation from Banaras Hindu University
and thereafter did Post Graduation and LL.B. from Lucknow University.
Being impressed with the philosophy of Gandhi Ji and inspired by the thoughts of Mahamana Pt. Madam Mohan Malviya he courted
arrest while studying in Banaras Hindu University. He took part in all Satyagrahs and Quit India Movement launched by AICC under the
mature and dynamic leadership of Gandhi Ji. He was a true Gandhian. He was imprisoned several times during freedom struggle and was
sentenced Kal Kothri for two months.
Shri Ram Murti Ji declined to accept the pension offered to the freedom fighters, since he was of the conviction that whatever he did
for the mother land was out of patriotism and not for material gains. In pursuance of the same spirit he donated 30 acres of agricultural
land in the Bhoodan Movement of Late Shri Vinoba Bhabhe.
He breathed last on October 02, 1988.
