"My role was equivalent to that of an Executive Director and I was charged with many responsibilities including ensuring the maintenance of the Hall to give students a serene environment for studies."
"Together with my predecessors, we were able to solve most of the Hall's problem before I was inducted, and we had a pending project called the "The Volta Hall's Women Resource Centre" but run out of funds."
"I call on all-and-sundry especially the Alumni of the Hall to come to our aid because the facility when completed would not only be an asset for the Hall but for the entire University."
"If you were my year group person,1990, and afterwards, this is our time. Please let's come on board and support the works of Volta Hall. I'm sure there are things that we can use to encourage the young people."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.

Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
