==Early life==
He was born in a predominately tribal backward region village named Taliamba in Jharigam block of Nabarangpur district,area of Odisha to Bhagaban Majhi and Subarno Prasad Majhi. He did his 12th from the prestigious [[Buxi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar College]] [[Bhubaneswar]] and B.A graduation from Vikram Deb Autonomous College – Jeypore, [[Koraput]] . He went for [[Delhi]] for Advanced Diploma in Computer Application.

==Political career==
Majhi was studying law in [[Delhi]] when he got involved in highlighting the [[malnutrition]] deaths of children in [[Nabarangpur]] district in 2002. He had gone back to his district. AICC Vice-President [[Rahul Gandhi]] discovered him under the Youth Congress 'Talent Search for Youth' conducted in [[Bhubaneswar]] where he stood first in the state level. Pradeep Majhi started his political career as elected President of [[District Councils of India|Zilla Parishad]] from Nabarangpur.

Majhi is among the rising young leaders of National Congress party. He is very close to [[Rahul Gandhi]], who is Party working-president and also in charge of the Youth Congress affairs.<ref>[http://www.mumbaimirror.com/index.aspx?Page=article&sectname=Columnists%20-%20Sunday%20Read&sectid=82&contentid=20090524200905240243596304cfa905a Team Rahul]</ref>
Majhi from Orissa registered history, when he was appointed as the secretary of Indian Youth Congress. This is the first time a person from Orissa has been elevated to this post. While the UPA 2 government is all set to complete two years, prominent "Week' magazine came up with a detailed statistics that Congress MP from [[Nabarangpur]], Mr Majhi has set a new record. The first-timer Lok Sabha MP asked 501 questions in two years with all-time records of 75 percentage of attendance in Parliament irrespective of his additional Orissa Youth Congress responsibilities.<ref>

===President of Zilla Parishad===
He was chosen by Congress party to contest the [[District Councils of India|Zilla Parishad]] member candidate in year 2007. After winning eventually elected as the President of [[District Councils of India|Zilla Parishad]] of [[Nabarangpur]] in May'13 2007 at the age of 32.

===Indian Youth Congress Secretary===
In 2008 he was appointed as Secretary of Indian Youth Congress by AICC Vice-President and MP [[Rahul Gandhi]] and was made in-charge of [[Jharkhand]] state Young Congress.

===Orissa Youth Congress President===
In Pradeep Majhi's stints as president of Orissa Youth Congress, he has attempted with his hard work and commitment to bring back the faith among young congress members when Orissa congress was going through a hard period. A huge number of fresh young bloods had been injected in party via talent hunt programs conducted across the state. He has dared the Orissa ruling [[Naveen Patnaik]] government over the huge [[Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act]] scam. He has also launched a [[Hunger strike]] near the state secretariat with his supporters seeking loan waiver for small and marginal farmers hit by nonseasonal rain. Then the hunger strike was called off after 7 days.
Orissa Youth Congress had advanced a lot under his leadership and guidance in terms of more discipline, more agitations and movements, infusion of ample fresh bloods in party carder and most significantly propagating Rahul Gandhi's vision and message to youth across the state.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.amaodisha.com/orissa/politics-government/orissa-youth-congress-calls-off-stir-yc-chief-pradeep-majhi-hospitalised-in-bhubaneswar/ |title=Orissa Youth Congress calls off stir, YC Chief Pradeep Majhi hospitalised in Bhubaneswar |access-date=29 June 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130116185947/http://www.amaodisha.com/orissa/politics-government/orissa-youth-congress-calls-off-stir-yc-chief-pradeep-majhi-hospitalised-in-bhubaneswar/ |archive-date=16 January 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
