Born on 2nd July 1920 in pre-partition India, Mr. Dharma Pandurang Calangutcar was the eldest of 7 siblings born in the Portuguese controlled state of Goa, India. A lack of English-medium schools in his area forced him to ride his bicycle everyday for over 14 kilometers to get an education that could support his family in the future. Armed with a dual graduate degree in English and Portuguese, he then made his way to Mumbai, India to build his future. All through his life, he enabled many individuals, family and friends to move from Goa to Mumbai for their further education. His core belief was that education is the best way to improve your living, not just monetarily but also as a rational, well-balanced human being. On the 100th anniversary of his birthday, the third generation of his family established this foundation in his honor. It will be our endeavor to give back to society and improve educational outcomes for all in Goa, just like he did.
