In the war against COVID-19 these days, from PM to minister and MP-MLA in the country, their salaries are being cut by 30 percent. President Ramnath Kovind is also taking only 70 percent of his salary. But you will be surprised to know that even before that there were 3 such presidents in our country who used to take only 25 to 30 percent of their salary.

Dr Rajendra Prasad was the first President of our country. Before taking part in the freedom struggle, Dr Rajendra Prasad was an expensive advocate in Patna, but after coming in contact with Mahatma Gandhi, his life completely changed. While serving as the President, he set many examples by living a normal life and taking half of the salary. In 1950, when Dr Rajendra Prasad became the first President of the country, he also hesitated to stay in the wide Viceroy's House.

With the entry of Rajendra Prasad in this building, its name was changed to Rashtrapati Bhavan. Rashtrapati Bhavan of the country is still in the President House with the largest campus in the world. The salary of the President was Rs 10,000 per month at that time. Rajendra Prasad accepted to take only 50 percent, and used to give the remaining amount to the government fund. As a President, Dr Rajendra Prasad started deducting more from his salary in subsequent years. After that, he used to take only 25 percent of his salary. He did many philanthropic works.
