The sad demise of Dangesaheb today at PARBHANI left me without a friend,philosopher and guide.I worked with him when he was Principal of Shivaji College Parbhani (marathwada) from 1963-1975.He was A scholar in marathi .His interpretations Of Saint-Poet Jnaneswars poetry won him GOLD MEDAL in his MA exams from Nagpur Univ.His essays from his answers in his exams were included in the texts of univ courses.Though a staunch Janasanghi,he had the patience to listen to differing views.the college had a golden period during his tenure with many cultural,co-curricular and xtra curricular activities in addtion to enviable academic achievements.He was an xcellent organiser.His active role in organising marathwada vikas andolan is still green in my memory.It is another matter that he was sacked from principalship in 1975.he was an xcellent human being,an AJATHA SETRU.I miss him as under his mentorship my personality was developed.I owe it to him for all the successes i achieved in my career.MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE!
