Mr. Suhas PrabhakarRao Kulkarni, HOD, Government Polytechnic  (Maharashtra), is a brilliant man with a passion for Technical Teaching and up-grading the technical education system. From a young age, he wanted to become a civil engineer, but growing up; he thought why not become the person who creates civil engineers with new construction techniques & professional skills for India.

His brilliant mind & thought process for becoming the responsible citizen of the country makes him different from the rest. In his career, he was interviewed by “Maharashtra Public Service Commission in civil engineering in the year 1988 as a Gazetted officer class one”, then worked for the society & students at numerous platforms for “Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, Swachata Abhiyan, Rural and community-based projects” and improving and imparting innovative teaching and learning.” He isn’t just a teacher but also a social worker; he has been involved in several cultural sports and personality development programs.

Through his consultancy, many students have been greatly rescued and found their way in the right direction. Not only a teacher, but he is a great leader, indeed.

When we asked him whether he has a mentor or idol in his life, he told us, ” Er. M. Visvesvaraya, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, and former president of India Late Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam are the personalities that really impressed and inspired me because of their dedicated work for India in the field of civil engineering, Education and Research.” Now you can understand the influence he has in his life, which made him this great personality.
