Mr. Talkar is a charmar (cobbler) by  caste and a congressman by creed. Mr.K.R.Talkar is a singular example of rare zeal, tenacity and simplicity.

K. R. Talkar

He was born at Alibag in 1901. The leading feature of his career is his passion for service. For six years he served on the District School Board Committee. At his instance National songs are sung in all schools of the Kibba district.

Mr.Talkar is a man of action. The hare of illusion does not flash across his imagination. He has given a bold lead to the Harijan in the van of progress. He is a very integrating force and is totally opposed to all disruptive tendencies.
