The I&B Ministry has identified three biographies — Patel: A Life by Rajmohan Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel — India’s Iron Man by B Krishna and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Nation Builder by PL Sanjeeva Reddy and SN Mishra. The government plans to send copies of these books to all schools, colleges and other institutions in the country in addition to making them available in libraries across the country.

As the biographies will be published by I&B ministry’s publication division the books will be made available at affordable prices.

PrintWeek India recommends Rajmohan Gandhi’s Patel: A Life, an honest picture of Patel’s stand on various issues and absolute loyalty to the Gandhian philosophy.
