Explanation:

Sant Gadge was born in a Dalit family on 23 February 1876 at Shengaon village in tehsil anjangaon surji of Amravati district of Maharashtra. His father’s name was Jhingraji and mother’s name was Sakhu Bai. His household name was Devidas Debuji Jhingraji Janerkar. Debuji always keeps an earthen pot (gadga) with him. Later he became famous as Gadge Baba and then Sant Gadge. He used to take his meal in this pot.

Although Sant Gadge had no political agenda, he always encouraged and appreciated programmes led by Dr Ambedkar. In fact, Sant Gadge’s social and educational programme was inspired by Dr Ambedkar and his movement against ignorance, blind belief and falsehood were inspired by Kabir and Chokhamela.

He made broomstick, shramdan (voluntary labour) and vigour his instruments to execute work and influenced the masses. His actions become imitable for others.

Gadge Baba had hoards of admirers – from manual labourers to ministers. Dr Ambedkar had no time for Babas and Sanyasis but he became an admirer of  Gadge Bada because of the latter’s social activities like campaign against the caste system, construction of Dharmashala, etc. Dr Ambedkar called him the greatest public servant after Mahatma Jotiba Phule. Gadge Baba presented Chokhamela Dharmashala to  Dr Ambedkar for his social work.

Gadge Baba died on 20 December 1956. The announcement of this death made from the Akashwani sent shock waves in many parts of the country. Gadge Baba’s body was placed in Rathore Garden, Badner, for people to pay their last respect. Ordinary people and ministers from the central and state government all came to pay homage to the great saint.

On 1 May 1983, the Maharashtra government divided the Nagpur University and established Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University.

The Government of India released a postal stamp in his name on his 42nd death anniversary on 20 December 1998. In 2001, the Maharashtra government launched the Sant Gadge Baba Gram Swachhata Abhiyan (village cleanliness programme). Sant Gadge knew that social revolution for cleanliness must be launched in the villages. And now his work and philosophy had become the basis of the government programme. After all, he was an institution in himself.
