Prakash Chandra Sethi (19 October 1919 – 21 February 1996) was an Indian National Congress politician who served as Minister of Home Affairs (1982–84)[2] and as the 8th Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh (1972–75).[3]
He was twice the chief minister of the state from 29 January 1972 to 22 March 1972 and 23 March 1972 to 22 December 1975.[4]
Ideologically, he appreciated people like Shankar Dayal Sharma, Ravi Shankar Shukla, Guru Radha Kishan, and Gandhian Mahesh Dutt Mishra.[citation needed] Though not much is talked about him as a politician, he was from the school of thought of being accessible to the public. Sethi was respected by the people of Indore and nation for his work.[5][6]
During his tenure in the central government, Sethi was elected from the Indore constituency. He also held a number of positions in the Central Government of India - Home Minister, Defense Minister, Minister of External Affairs, Finance Minister, Railways, and Housing and Development.[7][8]

He is also known for his efforts for surrender of dacoits from Chambal region of Madhya Pradesh in 1976 while holding the post of Union Petroleum and Chemicals Minister.[9]
