Mumbai: Early morning on Saturday, the vice chancellor of Kavikulaguru Kalidas Sanskrit University, Prof. Hare Ram Tripathi (58), and his wife, Badami Tripathi (56), died in a road accident near Kushinagar, UP. Both were residents of Mirganj in Gopalganj district of Bihar and were returning home from Nagpur when they met with the fatal accident. Their driver, Vaibhav Mishra, was seriously injured and is undergoing treatment.

The Governor of Maharashtra and Chancellor of state universities, C. P. Radhakrishnan, has expressed deep grief over the untimely demise. In a condolence message, the Governor wrote:

“I am deeply pained to learn about the tragic demise of Prof. Hare Ram Tripathi, Vice-Chancellor of Kavikulaguru Kalidas Sanskrit University, and his wife Smt. Badami, in a road accident near Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh.

Prof. Tripathi was a distinguished Sanskrit scholar, researcher, and popular teacher. During his tenure, he worked with dedication for the promotion and propagation of the Sanskrit language. Only a few days ago, his dream project of the International Campus of the University ‘Hedgewar Shaikshanik Bhavan’ was inaugurated. During his tenure, Prof Tripathi made serious efforts to develop infrastructure facilities, organise seminars and workshops, and undertake research projects at the university. With his demise, we have lost a dedicated researcher, scholar, and able administrator who tirelessly worked for the cause of Sanskrit. I convey my deepest condolences to the bereaved family as well as to the University in this moment of grief.”
