All this did not happen by chance or through any sort of magic. An incredible man set on an arduous mission with a singular dream of achieving all these incredible things. The man who sacrificed his joys, happiness and stood bold, to do the best. This man like a sprint achieved the success in all the fields. His words were Godly words to his followers. With an undaunted strong belief along with his team when he struck, the whole barren valley that was filled with dacoits and turned it into a prosperous and polite land.

Who was this incredible man? Who was this motivator? Who was this sprint? He was Late Vishwanath V. Kore alias Tatyasaheb Kore.

Tatyasaheb Kore who did a magnificent miracle in the land of Warana, born on 17th October 1914, he was the son of a farmer in a small village Kodoli. Young Vishwanath Kore had to overcome several hurdles due to the poverty of his family. Besides poverty the sad demise of his parents might have crunched him a great deal.

But young Vishwanath did not flinch an inch. Being the eldest in his family he took all the responsibilities on his shoulder and through his hard work he brought up the whole family through difficult times. By entering the local village co-operative society in 1935 he started his social service. He actively participated in Quit India Movement of 1942. He was actively associated with underground movement of Late "Y.B. Chavan - 1st Former Dy. Prime Minister of India. Due to his social services he was unanimously elected as President of Kodoli Municipality in 1940.

He plunged into a severe action when an unprecedented depression in 1951 literally ruined the farmers of this area and they had to burn out their sugar canes rather than making jaggery and face the prospect of selling it at throw away prices. This shocking incident made him to set up a modern co-operative sugar factory in the barren land WARANA situated next to Kodoli village. The success of this sugar factory doubled his enthusiasm and lead to the overall development of Warana Complex. Today Warananagar is a place of many facets and fragrances and its success story started unfolding with every sunrise. Warana is making stupendous growth and is expected to make miracles in the days to come.
