Career edit
Dudhgaonkar played a role in the development of Marathwada. He advocated for the construction of a canal for Jayakwadi which stalled for 16 years. As a result, about 20 thousand hectares of land in Gangakhed, Palam and Loha talukas were deprived of irrigation. Due to the accumulation of silt in the dams in Marathwada, it was necessary to increase the height of the dams. He suggested that setting a deadline would speed the progress and launch a green revolution in Osmanabad, Beed and Latur districts.
Recognizing the need for industrialization, Dudhgaonkar emphasized railway development. He suggested that development would be boosted if the Parli-Beed-Nagar route was expanded by doubling the railway tracks. He insisted that the curriculum of secondary-primary education should be on CBSE lines. He proposed the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concept for creating the Akola-Nanded and Nagar-Beed-Nanded national roads. He campaigned for the development of AIIMS specialty hospitals in the Marathwada area, highlighting the importance of locating in Parbhani, which he considered to be the state's epicenter. He advised the committee to make efforts for the Hajira to Nanded Gas Pipeline which benefit the Marathwada region.[9]
