Trivendra Singh Rawat (born 20 December 1960)[2] is an Indian politician who served as the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand between 2017 and 2021.

He obtained his master's degree in journalism from Birla Campus in Srinagar affiliated to the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University.

He was made BJP's organising secretary for the Uttarakhand region and worked with the senior leader Lalji Tandon at the time.

This was following meetings with the BJP leaders in Delhi, whom the observers from centre gave their report about the growing dissent against Rawat among MLAs and ministers, including mismanagement during the Chamoli flash floods.

In March 2024, Rawat was announced as the BJP candidate for the Haridwar constituency in the 2024 general elections,[17] which he won by a margin of 164,056 votes.
