My association with Kashinath Sir was for a short period but a memorable one to be cherished throughout my life. He was founder-teacher of the Binod Bihari High School, Pritipur, Jajpur. The school is a renowned one of Jajpur and I worked as its Headmaster for about two years.
Sir used to visit the school regularly and was chief guest in almost all school functions. He used to inspire both students and teachers with his simple talks. He donated funds for the construction of two additional classrooms.
Whenever I met him personally, he treated me like his daughter which inspired me to do well at the beginning of my career. His demise is a great loss to the society in general and the school in particular. I pray the Almighty to give strength to the bereaved family and bless the great soul to rest in peace!
