For his outstanding service and commitment, he was awarded a commendation medal twice during his service.
Apart from all these expertise, Col Ghate always wanted to do something for the soil he was born in.

He started organic farming in his village and is motivating others to practise it as well. This eventually will help in building an environmentally friendly and healthy future of this country.
Lt Col (Dr) Tushar Ghate protected our Nation by serving in the Fauj and is now building the Nation by being a Farmer. A true example of Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.
