Maratha Mandal Ratnagiri

In the year 1922, with the objective of promoting educational development within the community, discussions on educational issues were held during the Maratha Education Council Convention, inspired by the vision of Late Shri Dajiba Amrutrao Vichare. To unite all sections of the Maratha community in Ratnagiri district and to work towards the overall development of society, a meeting was organized on 26/11/1926 under the chairmanship of Late Shri Govindrao Havaladar Sawant, District Judge. On this occasion, guided by the thoughts and efforts of Late Shri Namsaheb Bagwe, Dr. M. G. Shinde, Late Shri V. G. Parab (Advocate), Late Shri Ramdas Shirke, and Late Shri R. D. Sawant, a central organization named “Ratnagiri District Maratha Sangh” was established, and structured social work formally began.
