Yadav has also been involved in public education programs focused on Dalits and has organized public dramatic performances which attack practices that Indian rationalists consider superstitions.[1]

In November 2014 he was one of eleven Samajwadi Party members who joined the Rajya Sabha upon election.[6]

Dr. Chandra Pal Singh Yadav created history by winning hands down and becoming the first Indian to head ICA Asia-Pacific as its President.

Chandra Pal polled 185 votes while his rival Chitose Arai of Japan polled 83 votes. Yadav won by more than 102 votes, an unheard-of margin in international cooperative politics.[7] Chandrapal Yadav has been the chairman of Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO) since 1998 continuously. He is also the board member of NAFED.[8]
