Who was the Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Indian Constituent…

To draft the Constitution, the Constituent Assembly set up several specialised committees, each headed by its own chairman with a distinct task -- one drafted the actual text, others framed the powers of the Union, and one steered the overall business and schedule of the Assembly.

The Steering Committee coordinated the timetable and business of the Assembly and its sub-committees. This committee was chaired by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, who was also the President of the Constituent Assembly.

• Dr. B.R. Ambedkar chaired the Drafting Committee, which prepared the text of the draft Constitution.

• Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru chaired the Union Powers Committee and the Union Constitution Committee, which dealt with the powers and structure of the Union government.

• Shri K.M. Munshi was a member of the Drafting Committee, not the chairman of the Steering Committee.

So the Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Constituent Assembly was Dr. Rajendra Prasad.
