Arun Singh was born on 4 April 1965 in the remote village of Baidha in the district of Mirzapur (U.P). His father,Mr. Vijay Narayan Singh,was a teacher and farmer. Mr. Singh inherited his hard working disposition from his parents but travelled the much difficult road of life,after he left his native place at an age of 16 and entered the wide world,overcoming the struggles through his self-determination and positive attitude.
Mr. Singh has completed his primary and secondary education from Mirzapur. He is a Commerce Graduate from Allahabad University. In 1984,after graduating from the esteemed university of the country,he headed towards the national capital,Delhi,to pursue Chartered Accountancy course. In 1988,he qualified as Chartered Accountant with a meritorious All India ranking. In his 20s he travelled across the country as an auditor. Such an experience helped him understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures that are present in our country. Since his early youth days,he developed an unswerving interest in the ideology of nationalism which led to his association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He started working with the Sampark Pramukh and fulfilled all his responsibilities with earnest dedication. Subsequently,he joined the Bhartiya Janta Party's Youth wing and initiated his sincere efforts towards the expansion of the party. Since then he has become a significant and an inseparable part of the party and party's leadership.
Apart from Mr. Singh's successful and inspirational political career,he has also been a splendid academician. Not only does he credit himself with an experience of 25 years as a chartered accountant but has many other qualifications and achievements to his name.

He regularly interacts with the students and professionals of management and finance in order to discuss developmental issues and models. During his interactions with the youths,he guides them not only academically but also shares his own principles and beliefs about leading a successful life. He advises the students to think of their parents and remind themselves of the schedule that they followed in the entire day before they doze off to sleep. Such an exercise of thinking of one's parents,Mr. Singh believes,will not let the youth tread the path of wrong and immorality. Also,harking back on the schedule of the day helps one contemplate on their trajectory towards their goals. Such reflections encourage performing the needful tasks to move closer and eventually achieve one's purposes of life. These interactions with the youths not underline his belief in constant learning and growing through discussions and discourse but also showcase his considerate attitude towards them wherein he strives to affect their lives in more than just an academic sense.
Arun Singh entered the public life when he joined the Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and began to prove his merit while working with the Sampark Pramukh. His political career started with his becoming the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha,the youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the Chief Guest in Delhi. The Convention focussed on the significant subject of "International Youth Conference on Terrorism". It was attended by the youth of more than 40 countries.
Mr. Singh's political strategy,organizational deftness and management skills during elections remained advantageous to the party. He undertook great responsibility of managing the various processes,promoting party's propaganda and handling the media during 2003,2008 and 2013 Chhattisgarh elections. Later he was also entrusted with the responsibility of managing Chhattisgarh in 2009 Lok Sabha elections and Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha elections.
