Marpakwar added,
Journalists from Vidarbha should come to Mumbai at the age of twenty-two-twenty three and become prosperous and proficient in journalism. I started journalism from Nagpur. Then Joseph Rao was with him. Several features of his journalism were highlighted. Nitin Gadkari was called by the Income Tax Department for questioning. He gave this news. This news created a stir in the whole country. Mentioned this news. There are many such news. Joseph Rao and Pradip Maitra who live in Nagpur and are making a name for themselves in journalism, my journalism really developed in Mumbai. Learned a lot.
Pradeep Maitra said, Joseph Rao was a journalist when I was studying in Hislop. They come to meet our professors. I know him since then. This acquaintance became stronger after joining journalism. We became family friends. Narrated some stories of Rao's punctuality. Highlighted his contribution to journalism. Told his public contact.
In the presidential speech, Girish Gandhi called Joseph's journalism unique. He was a man of clean image. Told many old memories. Keep working like this in future also.
Reacting to the honour, Joseph Rao said, without any family legacy of journalism, he continued to work in this field for 45 years. Only then has this become possible. Well-wishers, friends and family have contributed a lot in this. I have been giving importance to time all my life. No one is going to see me in sandals or chappals. People always saw me wearing shoes. Worked in eight bits in journalism. There will be no one else to see so many beats. My journalism journey continued from sports to political journalism. Always insisted on investigative journalism. On this occasion, Chandrashekhar Joshi, Bal Kulkarni, Ramu Bhagwat also highlighted the journalism of Joseph Rao. Directed by Varsha Patil.
