Rambhau Mhalgi

History

RMP 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 an academy for socio-political activists.[8] In 1982, Pramod Mahajan, senior BJP leader, opened Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini campus at Uttan village, near Bhayandar.[10][11] He was also the first Chairman of the institute.

In January 2020, the Congress party objected to training government officials at RMP citing right-wing political leaning of RMP.[12][13]
