The Torchbearer Prof. Diwakar Shastri 'Dada' - Sun, Jan 09, 2011
A name is an inane identity unless Man proves its worth. The name Prof. Diwakar Shastri is axiomatic and has fascinated the entire world with its inherent mettle. Prof.Diwakar Shastri - 'Dada' for all the members of the Banasthali family- perpetually enthused everyone . Since his birth on 9th January, 1932, his name began to reflect his radiance all around. As a child, he initiated a library in a village; as a boy, he attained academic laurels; and as a young man, he impressed and inspired the peers. Like Sun, he was the fountainhead of vigour and replenished and nurtured the Vidyapith during its tempestuous and turbulent times. As dada, the elder brother, he was an affectionate disciplinarian and inculcated strong moral and social values among all. His relentless efforts to achieve excellence, not only for the Vidyapith but also for the educational system of India, were realized by the world. Numerous awards were bestowed upon him. Every moment of the seventy eight years of Dada's life is inspirational and exemplary. Banasthali Vidyapith salutes its architect and torchbearer, Prof. Diwakar Shastri 'Dada', on his birthday.
