Madhav Mantri a versatile person right from Cricket to Education  :

It is very sad to learn that Madhav Mantri expired on Friday suffering heart attack a few days ago. I had an opportunity to work with him as Accounts Officer of Indian Education Society , Hindu Colony , Dadar when he was Honorary Secretary of IES , He was a nice person , very punctual and strict administrator yet ready to here your point of view with calm and due attention.

He was a living encyclopedia of Cricket , a test Cricketer himself having adorned various positions related to Cricket world of Mumbai . He was Banker as Director of Saraswat Bank , Educationist as Secretary of IES and good person in his social life . He was Mama of Sunil Govaskar . I had  pleasure in presenting  him my poem on his life when I was working with IES . He died at rip age of 92 years.   We expeced and wished him 100 years happy life . May his soul rest in peace  !
