THE JOURNEY OF A PASSIONATE FARMER
By: Sai Pawar, XI A
Born in a small village named Vadgaon, near
Rajgurunagar, Pandurang Sable never really aimed to
become a teacher or a banker. His ultimate passion was agriculture and loved
farming since his childhood.
Being a part of a farmer’s family, he spent
his childhood on the farm. At home his mother and grandfather always encouraged
him to complete his graduation and support the family. Till 11th he
completed his education from Rajgurunagar and further came to Pune and took
admission at the B.M.C.C. college for graduation.
Hoping to complete the degree of B.Com by the
end of the year, he had got a job as a teacher during the last year of the
degree itself. Rather, the B.Com qualification fetched him a special allowance
at the school. The school was located near Baramati, and there he taught
variety of subjects to varying standards. English to 10th std. ,
Hindi to 11th and 12th std, drawing to 8th
std. and Geography to 9th std. Being a strict but gentle teacher he
was very much loved by the students.
After one year he left teaching and took up
the banking career so as to fulfil his family demands. For some years Sable
worked at the SBI bank in Pune and later opted for a job at Rajgurunagar local
urban bank as an Assistant Manager. There he worked for the next 26 years and
retired at the age of 62 as the C.E.O. of the bank. His honesty and devotion
made him a lovable person at the bank.
As soon as he got retired, Sable turned
towards his passion and started farming. Now he gets ample of time to dedicate
it towards farming. Also, he says that it feels very nice to follow the
footsteps of his forefathers.
Seemingly, life with all its turnings has
finally reached the destination after his heart- being the son of the soil, now
he is able to enjoy agriculture to his heart’s content!
