Lalbaugcha Raja Social Activities

After 77 years of the Rule of the Lalbaugcha Raja we now enter the 78th glorious year of the Ganeshotsav. After so many years, it still serves the purpose, its main aim of bringing people together. Lakhs and lakhs of people come together from all walks of life & wait in anticipation of the darshan, all differences kept aside. It is their devotion towards the Raja that draws them to Lalbaug year after year. Over the years the Mandal has not only succeeded in popularizing the tremendously famous; Lalbaugchga Raja but has also tried very hard to better the society by working towards providing many facilities to the underprivileged. The Lalbaugchga Raja is known to everyone however, we also wish to highlight the social activities performed by the Mandal under the name of the same.

Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal is carrying out numerous social and educational activities since 1934 for uplift of the society and the Country. The Mandal has always contributed to the social works whenever any catastrophe has taken place in the country. In 1947, Mandal donated its balance amount to the Kasturba Fund and to Bihar Flood Relief Fund in 1959. Mandal did its bit by contributing to the National Fund during floods at Bihar in 1959 and during the wars in 1962 & 1965.

In 1990, the Mandal contributed Rs.15,000/- towards “Konkan Flood Relief Fund”, established by the Express Group for the flood affected people of Jambhulpada, based in Konkan, Maharashtra. It is the first Mandal who contributed Rs.1 Lac to the “Army Central Welfare Fund”, in 1999 for the families of the soldiers who scarified their lives to uphold the dignity of the Nation at Kargil and the same was handed over to the then Governor of Maharashtra State, Dr. P.C. Alexander.
