The Institution's Revered Figures

Gopinathrao Pandurang Munde was a respected Indian politician and a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), known for his unwavering commitment to public service. Born on December 12, 1949, in Parali, Maharashtra, Munde’s political journey spanned several decades. He played a significant role in Maharashtra’s state politics, serving as the Deputy Chief Minister and holding the Ministry of Home Affairs, where he was instrumental in combating the underworld and organized crime, particularly following the 1993 Mumbai attacks. Munde was a key figure in the introduction of the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA), a law that curbed criminal activities in the state. His influence extended to national politics when he was elected as a Member of Parliament in the 15th Lok Sabha and later appointed as the Union Minister for Rural Development in the cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In this role, he worked tirelessly to improve rural infrastructure, empower farmers, and uplift rural communities. Munde's leadership and legacy continue to inspire many, as he is remembered for his strong will, dedication, and contributions to the development of Maharashtra and India as a whole.
