Maharashtra Sports Minister Vinod Tawde said Thursday that the state government was thinking of setting up an institute in the memory of renowned cricket coach Ramakant Achrekar.
Achrekar, 87, whose students included Sachin Tendulkar, Pravin Amre and Vinod Kambli, died of age-related ailments Wednesday.
His funeral sans state honours Thursday morning raised eyebrows. Housing minister Prakash Mehta expressed regret over the same.
Speaking to the reporters later, Tawde said the government was thinking of setting up an institute in Achrekar's name.
"We will be contacting his family soon," he said.
