Chaudhary Charan Singh received his early education from Noorpur village and matriculation education from Meerut, after which he graduated in science and started practicing law in Ghaziabad by obtaining a master's degree in art. Chaudhary Charan Singh married Gayatri after coming to Meerut in the year 1929. Chaudhary Charan Singh joined the Congress party in 1937 and was elected from the Chhatrawali assembly constituency. After independence, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly three times in 1952, 1962, and 1967, as a result of which he was also given the responsibility of departments like Revenue, Justice, Information, Medicine, etc.
