Bal Vikas Manch

Current members: 43,432

Tomorrow's Tilak, Tendulkar and Nana Patekar. They are all over Maharashtra waiting to be discovered and nurtured. For in them lie the seeds of a new Maharashtra. Yes, someday in the future they'll rewrite the state's record of achievements. But for that to happen, somebody needed to take the initiative to ignite the minds of these bright young sparks. And as the No.1 newspaper of India's No.1 state, it was our responsibility to light this flame.

So we set up the Bal Vikas Manch as a part of our Community Initiative. This Manch serves as a platform that draws out prodigious wealth of talent in the younger generation from the state's urban as well as rural areas and helps canalize it towards a meaningful goal. In the process, profiling the state's tomorrow in terms of dreams, paths and objectives.

Lokmat Community Initiative has enabled us to interact with the women, youth and children very closely and know more about their academic, financial and professional background as well as develop a clearer understanding of their lifestyles and career goals. It's a knowledge whose power can be harnessed to cover new grounds and reach new mile stones. Just call any Lokmat Community Initiatives (LCI) executive at the branches listed below. And you'll discover how the Lokmat Community initiative can also be your bridge for direct communication with a market of limitless potential.
