==Work==<br />
Known for experimentation in his writings, Dr Devsare had launched a serious debate by questioning the relevance of the tales of kings and queens and fairies in the modern context. Instead, he has encouraged creativity in children's literature in Indian languages and tried to fill the vacuum in science fiction and one-act plays for children. With over 300 books for children to his credit, he has contributed a number of authentic and standard works in this category in Hindi. In addition, he has written scripts for serials, telefilms and programmes based on science and technology. Dr Devsare was a recipient of several awards and honours, including Bal Sahityakar Samman, Bal Sahitya Samman of [[Uttar Pradesh Hindi Sansthan]], Kriti Samman (2001) and Sahityakar Samman (2004) of Hindi Akademi, Delhi.{{fact|date=February 2020}}<br />
