Public Awakening Activities

All such contemporary issues that dominate our society are discussed threadbare at the seminars and symposia organised by the Prabodhini. We see to it that prominent personalities representing various shades of opinions take part and contribute to the process of churning.

Since the inception of the activities for overall public awakening and opinion making in 1988, Prabodhini has organised seminars and symposia on several issues of national importance. Some of the prominent issues discussed on the Prabodhini platform in the past include:

Crisis of Drinking Water in Maharashtra (1991)
