'''Umaid Singh''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|GCSI|GCIE|KCVO}} (8 July 1903 – 9 June 1947), also spelled '''Umed Singh''', was Maharaja of [[Jodhpur State|Jodhpur]] from 1918 until his death. <br />
<br />
The second son of [[Sardar Singh of Jodhpur]], he succeeded his elder brother Maharaja Sir [[Sumer_Singh_of_Jodhpur | Sumer Singh]] upon his death in 1918; in 1922 he served as the ''aide-de-camp'' to the [[Prince of Wales]] (later [[Edward VIII]]). Ruling under the regency of his granduncle until 1923, he was then formally invested as Maharaja by [[Lord Reading]]. During his reign, Sir Umaid Singh reformed and reorganised the Jodhpur State Forces and the judicial department, introduced a scheme for extending primary education, revised the land revenue settlement and established state pensions and a Provident Fund for state employees. Enjoying a distinguished military career, he died at his estate on [[Mount Abu]] on 9 June 1947 after a reign of 29 years, aged but 43. He died from an acute attack of appendicitis while on a tiger hunt.<br />
