Answer:
Dhondo Keshav Karve was a renowned Indian social reformer who devoted his life in the field of women’s welfare. Due to this, he earned the honorific ‘Maharishi’, meaning great saint, and came to be known as Maharishi Karve. He was also called affectionately as Anna Karve; Anna in Marathi means one’s father or an elder brother.
He also undertook the pioneering work in promoting widows’ education. The Government of India awarded him the Padma Vibhushan in 1955 for his pioneering contributions. Later he was honoured with the highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna in 1958, the year of his 100th birthday.
