Explanationव्याख्या
Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was the first Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.
He became India's first Vice-President in 1952 and served in that office until 1962.
Under Article 64, the Vice-President serves as the ex officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.
Therefore, Radhakrishnan's position as the first Vice-President also made him the first Chairman of the Upper House.
He later became the President of India.
His association with both constitutional offices makes him an important figure in the history of India's parliamentary system.
डॉ. सर्वपल्ली राधाकृष्णन राज्यसभा के प्रथम सभापति थे। वे 1952 में भारत के प्रथम उपराष्ट्रपति बने और 1962 तक इस पद पर रहे। अनुच्छेद 64 के अनुसार उपराष्ट्रपति राज्यसभा का पदेन सभापति होता है। इसलिए प्रथम उपराष्ट्रपति होने के कारण राधाकृष्णन राज्यसभा के प्रथम सभापति भी बने। बाद में वे भारत के राष्ट्रपति बने। इन दोनों संवैधानिक पदों से उनका संबंध भारतीय संसदीय व्यवस्था के इतिहास में उन्हें महत्वपूर्ण स्थान प्रदान करता है।
