Dileep Prabhakarrao Gheware

Social Activist

Dileep Prabhakarrao Gheware was born on August 20, 1965, in the small and quiet village of Kej in Beed district of Maharashtra. Hardship and responsibility filled his growing up years because his father, Prabhakar Rao, died when he was just 17 years old. While most boys his age dreamt of easy, sunny days, Dileep ‘s reality was different – he accepted the challenge quietly, and securing a job on merit in the town planning and evaluation department helped him to provide a better life for his loved ones. Despite this weight of responsibility, however, there was no denying Dileep’s academic promise; he was a bright student who nurtured a dream of higher education, but duty called the shots, and his family took precedence. He got his diploma in civil engineering and joined the year 1985 as a town planner with the Maharashtra government, which turned out to be the beginning of a long, storied journey in public service. The first early years were spent in Aurangabad, then in Latur and Bid, where the very sharp mind and dedication left an indelible mark.

Dileep’s Career and Contributions

Dileep’s path began at the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation in 1986, where he played an essential role in urban infrastructure and development. His commitment and vision propelled his career forward, eventually reaching the Collector’s Office in Thane from 1999 to 2005. During this time, Dileep’s expertise in the Urban Land Ceiling Department significantly transformed the region.

Promotions marked Dileep’s career, each earned through hard work. From 2008 to 2013, he served as an Officer on Special Duty for four prominent ministers, which gave him valuable exposure to political leaders like Deputy CM Chhagan Bhujbal and Minister Vimal Mundada. This exposure helped him gain a deeper understanding of leadership at the state level.

After 38 years of dedicated service, Dileep retired in 2023. However, for him, retirement is not a time for rest but an opportunity to continue his lifelong commitment to society. Among his many contributions is the Aryanandi Scholarship Scheme, which supports the education of poor and orphaned children. This initiative reflects his belief in the transformative power of knowledge. Dileep’s Paritra Sagar Medical Initiative extends compassionate hands to the underprivileged, providing essential medical assistance to those often overlooked by society.

Personal Life

Dileep married Neeta in 1988, and together they are blessed with three children: Priyanka, Pallavi, and Praneet. His children reflect the values he instilled in them–dedication to their work and the good of society. Priyanka is settled in the USA, Pallavi runs a school in Pune, and Praneet has followed in his father’s footsteps by obtaining a law degree. Dileep takes pride in his family, especially in his three granddaughters and one grandson, who lovingly call him grandfather.

Community Involvement and Leadership

Dileep’s deep connection to his roots is evident through his continuous community work. He served as president of the Teen Murti Mandir for six years, a role that highlighted his spiritual side. His efforts to rescue over 25,000 people during the COVID-19 pandemic earned him the title of “Corona Ayodhya Man.” His leadership in organizing food and ensuring medical facilities for the needy exemplifies his belief that true leadership is rooted in service, especially during times of crisis.

Looking Forward

As Dileep looks toward the future, he envisions better healthcare, stronger infrastructure, and greater opportunities for education in Mira Bhayandar—a place he lovingly refers to as his “Karmbhoomi.” His aspiration to secure a BJP ticket to contest as an MLA is his opportunity to merge a lifetime of public service with his strong community ties, making him a leader with both a plan and a heart.

Dileep Gheware’s quiet strength and resilience tell the story of a life dedicated to the greater good. His journey, characterized by sacrifice and service, is far from over—it continues with a future dedicated to the upliftment of the people he holds dear.
