| About Raebareli | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| During 1947 to 1966, Raebareli was insignificant on the political map of India. Feroze Gandhi was the first Member of Parliament from 1952 to 1960. He was the son-in-law of Sri Jawahar Lal Nehru, but he never used this relation for political gains.
This unknown district RAEBARELI came into limelight when in 1967 Smt. Indira Gandhi selected it as her constituency, when in 1977 the ruling Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi was defeated by the Janta Party Leader Sri Raj narain, and again in 1984 when Prime Minister Sri Rajiv Gandhi was elected from Amethi, This proved the political Dominance of Raebareli. After the assassination of Smt. Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi was elected as the leader of congress and then as Prime Minister he selected AMETHI as his constituency and was elected from Amethi in 1984 and 1989. After the assassination of Sri Rajiv Gandhi in 1991, this seat was represented by Capt. Satish Sharma of congress in 1991 and Sri Sanjai Singh of BJP in 1994. But in the elections of 1999, Smt. Sonia Gandhi has selected Amethi as her constituency and was elected for Lok Sabha with a record margin. |

The first high school was established by Rajshree Rampal Singh, Kurry Sudaoli named Hindu High School. This School was opened in 1918. Now days it is known as Mahatma Gandhi Inter College.

Raebareli enjoys a very long history of traditional arts. Shoes (NAAGRE) of Semrauta, brassware of Maharajganj and earthen toys of Kakoran are living examples of craftsmanship for which Raebareli was always famous. In modern times, however, Raebareli was transformed from the traditional agro economy, and cast onto the industrial map of India way back in the seventies under the dynamic leadership of then Prime Minister of India, Mrs. INDIRA GANDHI. |
