He was buried alongside his wife Subadramma and other family members, and near the Grave of Father Gangloff, in the catholic cemetery of Jagannaickpur, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. In 1993, He was honored by the Pondicherry Government who who gave him a befitting salute by installing a lifesize Bronze statue in the Yanam town square near the regional administrator building and the Catholic Church. His family consisting of six sons and two daughters settled themselves in kakinada, London and Chicago and did not show any interest in politics or administrative affairs and went out of public eye.
 
== '''Monsieur Dadala - A leader of inspiration of courage and Dedication''' ==
 
Monsieur Dadala, during his stuggle for the merger, was enticed by various people including, the then ruling french authorities with gifts, wealth and rich settlement both within India and in France. But his integrity and dedication made him turn down all the riches showered upon him and he refused French Citizenship either for him or any of his family members, while many other merger leaders or their sons or daughter's have given in to take up French citizenships. Also Monsieur Dadala never even requested or been transferred with the huge employement benefits of his eighteen years of services as police officer in the French Government.
 
Subsequently after the merger of [[Yanam]] into Indian Union, Monsieur Dadala, also stayed away from any active participation in yanam administration. This gap caused a few disgruntled elements to spread some false rumours against him which never got justified or proven. Despite of all this, he continues to become a source of inspiration for a lot of [[dalit]] and other under privileged people in the region. Many of these have become prominent persons in various fields. One of these prominent persons who can be mentioned here is Late Shri Ganti Mohan Chandra Bala Yogi, who became the speaker of Indian parliament until his tragic death during his term as speaker. Mr Balayogi was a good friend of Mohandas Dadala, the third son of Monsieur Dadala.
