 India's former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has passed away at the age of 92.

Singh held the position of prime minister from 2004 to 2014 and played a pivotal role in the economic liberalisation of India during the 1990s.

Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who led the South Asian nation for two terms and played a pivotal role in liberalizing its economy during his earlier tenure as finance minister, has passed away at the age of 92.

Singh, an economist who transitioned into politics and also held the position of governor of the Reserve Bank of India, had been unwell and was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi late on Thursday.

His health declined as a result of a "sudden loss of consciousness at home," according to a statement from the hospital. The statement further indicated that he was "undergoing treatment for age-related medical conditions."

A composed technocrat, Singh served as one of India’s longest-tenured prime ministers, occupying the position from 2004 to 2014 and gaining recognition for his exceptional personal integrity.
