Inderjit Kaur has made history as Ludhiana's first woman mayor, a significant achievement for the city. Elected on January 20, 2025, she represents Ward No. 13 and is a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
At just 37 years old, Inderjit brings a wealth of experience to her new role. Before entering politics, she was a principal at a private school for over ten years, where she focused on education and student development.
Her election was part of a tightly monitored process held at Guru Nanak Dev Bhawan, where Rakesh Prashar was elected as senior deputy mayor and Prince Johar as deputy mayor. The election was notable for its security measures and some controversy regarding the voting process, with opposition parties alleging pre-decided outcomes by AAP.
She aims to enhance cleanliness and provide better basic amenities for all residents. With her background in education, she understands the importance of community development and is committed to making Ludhiana a model city.
As the first woman to hold this position, Inderjit Kaur inspires many young women in India to pursue leadership roles. Ludhiana looks forward to her leadership and the positive changes she will bring!
