During the Press Conference it was informed that About 200 plus individuals having a strong social work background from over 65 social organizations attended the recent meeting held in Pune where the idea to initiate ‘Sajag Raho’ campaign was conceived.

Some of them include noted author Padmashree Namdeo Kamble, Veteran Social Worker Padmashree Girish Prabhune, Dr Dhananjay Bhise from the Matang Sahitya Parishad, Former IAS Officer Avinash Dharmadhikari, Founder of Sudarshan Channel Suresh Chavhanke, Xitij Gaikwad from the Ambedkari movement, renowned television personality Dr Uday Nirgudkar, Pradeep Rawat from the Vivek Vichar Manch and Jagdish Kadam Trustee of Shivsrushti.

Large number of welfare schemes were introduced and successfully implemented for the scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and various backward communalities in the past 10 years. However, some political personalities and hypocritical social institutions are misleading these backward communities with some extremely fake narratives that also had some impact during the recent Loksabha elections.

However, such an effort to disturb the harmony in state of Maharashtra, which is often referred as the growth engine of the country needs to be dealt with a strong and informative drive like Sajag Raho so that the attempts to create rifts in the Hindu community are countered felt the dignitaries present during this Press Conference.
