Smt Vimladevi Deora Nikam, Wife of Barrister Deora Nikam and mother of
Special Public Prosecutor, Shri. Ujjwal Nikam and mother-in-law of
Shantaram Naik, MP Rajya Sabha from Goa, passed away on February 6, 2012
at Jalgaon at the age of 87, due to old age. She was born on January 26,
1926 at Belgaum. During her young days she had participated in the
freedom struggle and had assisted the freedom fighters by providing them
assistance to transport arms and ammunitions.
However she declined to avail any of the benefits of a freedom fighter,
post the independence of the nation on the ground that her service to
the motherland was her bounden duty for which she expected no returns.
Smt Nikam came from a very illustrious family. Her maternal uncle was a
Colonel in the military and her elder brother Mr. M. R. Desai was a
philanthropist and an 'Education Baron'. He had propagated the
significance of education in western Maharashtra and had also provided
free education to several students.
Smt Nikam was a woman with great patience and her virtues were inspiring
to all. Her husband Barrister Deora Nikam could pursue his Barrister
degree at London only because of her support as during his absence she
resided in the village and looked after the agricultural land of family.
Vimladevi lived an exemplary life. She is succeeded by Shri. Dilip
Nikam, Shri. Ujjwal Nikam, Shri. Pravin Nikam, Smt Meena Rane, Smt Beena
and son-in-law Shri Subhash Rane ex-Mayor of Kolhapur and Shri Shantaram
Naik MP (Goa).
