My village Yellur, a progressive awakened village near Belgaon. Our family is a poor farmer. Very uneducated, I love education. Great love and encouragement from teachers as brilliant students! Great craze for reading- Even as a student, I read a lot of quick works of great men, Akshar Vad:may, Katha novels of senior writers. Satyashodak Samaj, 'Phule-Shahu-Ambedkar's revolutionary historical social work had a huge impact. Realized that death for public welfare is real living.
Year 1960, M. A. Student of, came to Kolhapur. I was fortunate enough to get shelter in Rajarshi Shahu's 'Sri Shahu Vedic School' (Bindu Chowk).
I felt blessed. Unexpectedly came to Kasba Beed village. Away from the highway
Village on undeveloped road area(Advalan )Surrounded by rivers and canals, full of inconveniences, this village in hilly area is desperate for secondary education. I thought, here in June 1961, high school should be completed, my condition is 'hands not strength'. Didn't even know anyone, a foreign village. The determination was firm. High school started. Faced endless difficulties. 'Sometimes I fell, sometimes I cried' 'But I didn't give up. 'The organization grew by putting body-mind-money and reputation at stake. Today high school, jr. College and Women's College are functioning. The well-established dnyanmandir was built with the best facilities in an established civic college. Poor girls from small villages, hilly areas get college education. Feel satisfied.
