Ganesh Vasudev Mavalankar, often referred to as Dadasaheb, was the inaugural Speaker of the Lok Sabha, serving from May 15, 1952, until his death in February 1956. An prominent independence activist and lawyer, he previously held leadership roles as the President of the Central Legislative Assembly and Speaker of the Constituent Assembly (Legislative). Jawaharlal Nehru affectionately called him the Father of the Lok Sabha due to his essential role in establishing the fundamental rules, procedures, and traditions of India's parliamentary system.
