Ex-Cabinet Minister, Government of India and a President of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Hon'ble Shri. Sharad Pawar, son of farmer, having focused effort, perseverance, in-depth planning, discipline, ability to endure criticism and far-sightedness are some of his qualities that he displayed in his political journey of the past 40-45 years. After Yashwantrao Chavan, Sharad Pawar is recognized as the next best known political figure from the State of Maharashtra.

Born in a farming community in Baramati taluka at Katewadi, his political journey from here to becoming the Chief Minister of the State and holding several portfolios at the Centre, he is certainly an inspiration to many.
