WELCOME

Elgar means an Army on the March. The word Elgar was taken from the title of a famous poem composed by the beloved poet of Vidarbha – Suresh Bhatt. The last two lines of the poem say –

Sadhyach mansancha elgar yeth ahe
Ha thor gandulancha bhondu jamav nahi

The army of ordinary people is on the march,
This is not the spineless gathering of renowned earthworms.

The word Elgar is common to our efforts in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.
Elgar Pratishthan - a development organisation formed in 1999
Shramik Elgar - a people's movement started in 2000


Elgar believes that marginalised citizens of India should have equal access to their constitutional and legal rights, and be able to live in peace, security and harmony with their neighbours and the natural environment.

We aim to strengthen the voice of the poor, develop community leadership especially that of women and youths and also use various democratic institutions to further the rights of the vulnerable sections.
