Prem Prakash Pandey (born March 8, 1958) is an Indian politician who served as the 2nd Speaker of the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly.
As a compliment to his efficiency and grasp on the political aspect, he was chosen for the distinguished post of Speaker of the 2nd Legislative Assembly of Chhattisgarh.
One major political crisis that triggered his zeal to serve the nation is when India was reeling under the attack on democracy in the garb of emergency in 1975.
He has exemplified his visionary attribute through his effort to solve the water woes of his constituency and earned the sobriquet "Paaniwala Baba.".
He also gave vigour to the "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" campaign in Bhilai to inculcate behavioural change and to keep the environment clean.
Prem Prakash Pandey being the MLA of Bhilai constituency has started (on 28 August 2016) an initiative named "Swacchhata Utsav" under which he visits a part of the constituency every Sunday in the morning with a group of followers and volunteers, where Prem Prakash Pandey and volunteers clean the streets (though symbolically) to spread the message of cleanliness.
The idea is to spread the word of "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" started by nation's prime minister Shri Narendra Modi.
