Sharadchandra Govindrao Pawar (Marathi pronunciation: [ʃəɾəd̪ pəʋaːɾ], born in 12 December 1940)[1] is an Indian politician. He has served as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for four terms and has also served in the Union Council of Ministers as the Minister of Defence in the Cabinet of P.V. Narsimha Rao and as Minister of Agriculture in the Cabinet of Manmohan Singh. He is the first and former president of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), "which he founded in 1999, after separating from the Indian National Congress". His faction of the NCP was split by his nephew, Ajit Pawar. He leads his faction of the NCP in the Rajya Sabha, the upper chamber of the Indian parliament. He is the chairperson of Maha Vikas Aghadi, a regional Maharashtra-based political alliance.
Pawar comes from Baramati of Maharashtra. He is the patriarch of the influential political family—the Pawar Family—and a prominent face in Maharashtra politics. Other politicians from the family include his daughter Supriya Sule, his nephew Ajit Pawar , his nephew's son Rohit Rajendra Pawar and other members of his extended family.[2][3][4][5][6]
Outside of politics, Pawar has served as the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from 2005 to 2008 and as the president of the International Cricket Council (ICC) from 2010 to 2012.[7] He was the president of the Mumbai Cricket Association from October 2013 to January 2017.[8]
In 2017, the Indian government conferred upon him Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian honour of India.
