Following 38 long years of service, he retired on 30 November 2014 but continued his service to society. He is recollected by his colleagues for being a multi-talented; singer, actor, highly intellectual yet a simple, humble, disciplined, and straightforward person.

Under his guidance, many students were able to host exhibitions at Pilikula Regional Science Center and National Jamboree of Bharat Scouts and Guides.

He is survived by his mother, wife, and two daughters.
