Second Lieutenant Rama Raghoba Rane was born on 26 June 1918 in Chendia, Uttara Kannada, Karnataka.
From 8–11 April 1948, his sapper platoon cleared mines and filled anti-tank ditches to allow tanks to advance at Naushera under continuous enemy fire. Over three days he continued despite shelling, enabling capture of Rajauri.
He survived and was awarded the Param Vir Chakra.
