Bhaduri and their enthusiastic colleagues recognized the importance of higher education . Their vision was to provide quality education to students from diverse backgrounds, irrespective of region, religion, caste, economic strata and academic performance. It was due to their dedication that today Durga Mahavidyalaya, is in the catalogued as one of the outstanding colleges of Chhattisgarh.Eminent-socialist Ex-malguzar of Raipur, Pt.
