SHRI. APPASAHEB PAWAR

The Back-Bone of MBF

Advocate Shashikant Pawar, popularly known as AppaSaheb, is an unique personality and is as an Institution by himself. He is absolutely apolitical, nonreligious, secular and a Friend of all. It is because of these qualities that he has been at the highest hierarchy and holding highest posts in Maratha & Kshatriya Organisations like Akhil Bhartiya Maratha Mahasangh, Maratha Mandir, Bharatiya Kamgar Karmachari Mahasangh, Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha, Maratha Businessmen Forum, etc.

AppaSaheb had convened a meeting of few Maratha - Businessmen with the agenda to bring together Maratha Businessmen and to initiate the process of forming Maratha Businessmen Forum, (MBF) which could give the guiding platform for the people from Maratha Samaj which could encourage them to come into Business and create more opportunities of jobs, for our own people rather than their doing jobs, at others’ places, with the typical mentality of 'Marathas can’t do business’. For AappaSaheb, wheneverany concept or idea struck to his mind, which he thought, would help Maratha or Kshatriya Community, he never looked behind but went ahead in implementing the same.

AppaSaheb has further advocated that, “Hereafter Marathas should not run after jobs or services, but as against that they should offer jobs and services, by starting their own business”. According to him, Marathas should thus become Entrepreneurs. This is the basic and foundation given by AppaSaheb for starting the “Maratha Businessmen Forum – MBF” on 10th October, 2014.
