For Hajipur; From Hajipur!
Dr. Ashutosh Singh
Scientist · Researcher · Policy Thinker — Son of Hajipur
Dr. Ashutosh Singh — PhD from Georgia Tech (USA) & University of Lorraine (France), Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow, currently a scientist in Luxembourg. Native of Hajipur; driven by moral duty to transform Bihar with experience from Europe and America.
Biography
Dr. Ashutosh Singh is a native of Hajipur — a scientist, researcher, and public intellectual who journeyed from India to Europe and America and returned because his moral obligation to society outweighed personal comfort. From Surajdev Memorial School through MS Ramaiah (Bangalore), Politecnico di Milano (Italy — Invest Your Talent in Italy), and a joint PhD at Georgia Tech and the University of Lorraine, he built a scientific worldview. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Horizon 2020) Fellowship, Achievers Award, Thesis Award, and Merit Award recognised his academic excellence. Working at Britannia Industries, Prima Additive (Italy), CNRS (France), and currently as a scientist in Luxembourg, he has observed governance, science, and industry in developed democracies firsthand. He advocates inducting professionals into policymaking and believes young people should enter politics only when they have seen the world and can bring merit. He is ready to give up everything — all he asks is your support.
Moral Obligation to Society
Dr. Ashutosh Singh is not an accidental politician. He is a scientist who has seen how developed societies in Europe and America function — and understands how urgently policymaking needs professional, experienced people. A moral obligation toward society brought him back to Bihar. He is ready to give up everything — career comfort, foreign stability, personal gain — because Hajipur and Bihar's future is not personal ambition; it is duty. All he asks on this path is your support.
Professionals in Policymaking
Ashutosh Singh is a strong advocate for inducting professionals into policymaking. He believes young people should enter politics — but only those who have seen the world, understood how governance, science, and industry work in developed nations, and can bring merit, integrity, and vision. Hajipur and Bihar need such people — not career politicians.
Why I Did Not Contest
I returned to Bihar to bring change. When Jan Suraaj emerged — a new party promising good candidates and change everywhere — I felt they deserved a fair chance. If someone commits to change across Bihar, and I believe in that same mission, stepping aside was the right thing to do. That is why I did not contest.
