Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini is a not-for-profit organisation established in memory of the Rambhau Mhalgi.[1] Established in 1982, RMP is a learning and research organisation for government leadership aspirants and current government leaders of India.[2] RMP has been granted special consultative status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council.[3][4] The organization operates nationally through its offices in Delhi,[5] Pune, Mumbai, and its headquarters in Thane.[6] Since its establishment in 1982, RMP has trained many government leaders.[3]
RMP is often linked with the Bharatiya Janata Party and right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh outfit.[7][6][8][9] It is a recognized research centre by Mumbai University.[10][11]
History
RMP government leadership training mission was implemented first at the behest of parliamentarian Rambhau Mhalgi. Mhalgi was influenced by RSS thinker and BJP leader Deendayal Upadhyaya, who had conceived the idea of a learning establishment for government leadership aspirants and current government leaders of India.[10] In 1982, Pramod Mahajan, senior BJP leader, opened Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini at Keshav Srushti campus at Uttan village, near Bhayandar.[12][13]
In January 2020, the Congress party objected to training government officials at RMP citing right-wing political leaning of RMP.[14][15]
Studies
Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini has undertaken field-based research programmes on socio-political and internal security issues. Among these was an on-the-spot study of the Salwa Judum[16] movement in Chhattisgarh carried out by a multidisciplinary team of researchers and media professionals. The study sought to document conditions in affected regions and understand local responses to the anti-Naxalite mobilisation. Participants visited villages and relief camps as part of the field assessment. The team included journalist Sarita Kaushik, who had reported extensively from central India. The findings were compiled as part of the organisation’s research and documentation activities.[17][18][19][20][21]
