“With the blessings of those who inspired me to work for the services of the people, I have received this award. I am happy to get another life to serve the people and complete my work”, said renowned homoeopath Dr Vilas Dangre. Dr Dangre was replying to his felicitation and getting an award in memory of Sant Kamlasut alias Chandrashekhar Warhadpande. The award was conferred upon Dr Dangre at the hands of Union Minister for Surface Transport Nitin Gadkari, in presence of MLC Nago Ganar and Corporator Dr Ravindra Bhoyar.
