Celebrating 20 years of Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti (MANS), the “Warasa Samajsudharakancha-Andhashraddha Nirmulanacha, Vivekacha’, will be held in Pune from January 14 to 16. The convention, as the name suggests, would draw attention to the rich tradition of social reformers in Maharashtra and would set the goal of eradication of superstitions from all sections of the society.
“As part of MANS’ 20th anniversary celebrations, the Samiti conducted a grand movement across the state throughout the last year. All the 220 branches of the Samiti held various programs like inter-caste and inter-religion marriages, quiz competition and road shows depicting life of different social reformers,” said Samiti’s state secretary Milind Deshmukh in a press conference.
Activists of MANS have prepared an educational declaration that would be presented at the state-level conference. The conference will be inaugurated in the presence of president MANS N D Patil, senior journalist Kumar Ketkar, social activist Medha Patkar and Dr Jabbar Patel, while Sakal Chief Editor Uttam Kamble, Home Minister R R Patil and Social Justice Minister Shivajirao Moghe will attend the valedictory function. During the three-day conference issues like secularism, experiences of activists and mental health, future of anti-superstitions movement in Maharashtra are scheduled to be discussed.
Other participants in the conference include Mohan Dharia, activists Baba Adhav, Pushpa Bhave, Dr Narendra Dabholkar, Dr Anil Awachat, Subhash Ware, Govind Pansare and actor Sadashiv Amrapurkar.
