Feedback by office bearers of Ganesh Mandals !

  1. Hindu Dharma still exists owing to few organizations like HJS and owing to few existing religious ‘Ganeshotsav Mandals’; sanctity of the Ganesh festival is still preserved. – Shri. Pritesh Kedari, President, RiddhiSiddhi Ganapati Mandal
  2. Let us undertake HJS drives through the medium of ‘Mandal’ and meet to plan, after Ganesh festival is over. – Shri. Pandurang Pawar, Founder-President, ‘Lokshikshan Mitra Mandal’
  3. HJS has been working for people in big way. There are very few who take up such drives for welfare of society. Our ‘Mandal’ will extend help if needed for any social work. – Shri. Amit Zanzale, President, ‘Nagarkar Taalim Mitra Mandal’
  4. Shri. Vilas Kale, President of ‘Gopalkrushna Vikas Mandal’ will be arranging ‘Mata Gaurav’ program during Diwali in which he has been planning to hold lectures and demos of HJS.
