The Diwan of Gangpur was Diwan Sanyasi Angi Naidu Kumar (b. 29 April 1904 - d. 1974). The Diwan served at the time for the King, or Raja of Gangpur State, Raja Udit Pratap Shekhar Deo, and for the Raja's Mother who was serving as the Regent Rani Sahiba of Gangpur during India's pre-independence time of the British Raj. Diwans in Royal India had occupations analogous to a Chief Minister or Secretary of State of Affairs of the royal palace and court. After India's independence from the British in 1947, most posts with royal ranks were desolved under the new laws of democracy. Families of he regal titles maintained some titles as a sense of society's sentimental and honorable recognition.
