I have also contributed to social welfare projects run by eminent social personalities like Vikas Amte and Sindhutai Sapkal. Previously, I had received an award for my social entrepreneurship by Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Smruti Pratishthan, Mumbai. Now, I feel immensely proud to receive an award instituted in the name of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, architect of the Indian Constitution. I am donating a fund of Rs. 10 Lakh for the educational development of underprivileged children as well as children from tribal communities. I am eager to help them with other educational materials in the future as well."
Lauding the social welfare work of Datar, Mr. Ramdas Athavale said, "People's Education Society was founded by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, to increase education among the underprivileged. This year, on 8th July, the Institute is celebrating its 79th Foundation Day.
