At last, as per his last wish, the body of eminent educationist and writer Dr Suresh Gundu Amondkar was donated to the Goa Medical College. Throughout his life, he created students of repute. And even after his death, he has made his dead body available to the medical students. A hardcore teacher indeed.



While he dedicated his whole career for education, for the last ten years, he had dedicated his creativity to translate all the religious epics of all the religions into Konkani. That too while fighting a deadly cancer with three relapses. And even when he died, his body has been now made available to the students of anatomy.  




Who will build new Goa? Why are you leaving Goa? Goa is our lovely land. Let’s build it with our sweat and knowledge. Don’t discriminate between Goan and outsiders. Don’t feel ashamed to any kind of job. He kept on telling this to the children till his last breath. 



 He came back from Kenya at a young age to take ahead the dream of his father Gundu Sitaram Amondkar and carried forward the work of G S Amondkar Vidya Mandir in Mapusa, along with his wife Sudha. And the fruits of his sincere work was visible on Monday when hundreds of his students came to the school premises to pay homage to their fatherly figure – Suresh Gundu Amonkar.
