[4][6] Patangrao Kadam was born into a middle-level farming family in a small village of Sonsal, Sangli District in Maharashtra.
Since no educational facilities were available in Sonsal, Kadam had to walk 4–5 km every day to attend a primary school in a nearby village.
After S.S.C., he joined Shivaji College, Satara, run by Rayat Shikshan Sanstha, which was established by a renowned social reformer and educationist, Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil.
