Maharashtra Andhshraddha Nirmulan Samiti
What We Do ?

As the title of our Organisation suggests, we are actively involved in saving our citizens from financial, physical, mental and sexual exploitation being done by Charltans like fake Babas, Gurus etc. of irrespective of the religions of the Babas or their exploited followers. We help people in filing cases against such Babas. But thats not all. Our activities include:

Organisation awareness programmes in Schools, Colleges, Religious events, Social events and make people aware about the so called miracles performed by the fake Babas. The miracles are performed by our Activists and the secret is revealed later at the end of programme. This eliminates the fear among the people.
Organising lecture with practicals of spreading Scientific Temperament, the fundamental Constitutional duty of every Citizen.
Awareness programmes for Adolescent Boys and Girls about the physical, mental changes and challenges being faced by them while attaining puberty.
Our, 'Selecting the Partner rationally' programme makes young boys and girls aware about how to select a partner.
Environment friendly substitute for festivals: Environment friendly Ganesh Festival, Holi, Crackerless Diwali-Christmas-New year campaigns are organised. Snake Awareness programmes clear misunderstandings about Snakes. Anti Addiction Drive is obseved during the last week of December. We are glad that the Government of Maharashtra has fallen in line with our Campaigns and they also issue instructions for observing Environment friendly Ganesh Festival, Holi, Crackerless Diwali.
Campaign for women's equal right and security are organised throughout the state.
We initiated and vigorously followed up for the Anti Black Magic Act in the State of Maharashtra. After the murder of our Founder Executive President Dr. Narendra Dabholkar, this law was passed. India became the first state to pass such Lae.
We initiated the agitations for passing Anti Social Boycott Act to avoid tremendous atrocities being committed by the Panchas of the Jaat Panchayat (Khap Panchayat.) The Law was passed at our insistance.
We organise Constitution Awareness programmes, Marches etc. to spread awareness about our Constitution.

Our Organisation works within the framework of our Constitution and all the programmes, agitations are carried out peacefully and without affecting general public in any manner.
