About Us

A small Sapling by name " Federation of Social Institutions of Vile Parle" was mooted in April 1962 by  Veteran Social Workers,  Sarvashri Late Rambhau Barve, Late Dr. P. G. Vartak, Late Dr. S. V. Tilak, Late Shri Shantilal Bole, Late Shri S. D. Juwekar, Late Shri. Mohanrao Nisal & Shri. D. B. Kulkarni and was registered as a Federation of Social Institutions in the year 1967.

After Independence, the public service was hampered as the people expected the government to do every thing for them. Only the election minded people thought of coming into power but neglected the day to day problems of the society. Active Social Institutions like Lokmanya Seva Sangh,Vile Parle, Mahila Sangh, few Co-op Hsg. Societies on the East, and on the West, Vile Parle Kelwani Mandal, Bhagini Seva Mandir and Kumarika Stree Mandal and other such institutions had been rendering social services to the public for the cause of their day to day life.

In 1962, we first thought of forming a 'Federation' to stand as One Public Forum to do as much social work as possible for Vile Parle, We started Triple Vaccination Centre for Children. Late Dr. P. G. Vartak  and Late Dr. S. V. Tilak with a batch of few more doctors, conducted the centre on every Sunday morning. The working of the centre was managed by the 'Federation', which is now run by Lokmanya Seva Sangh, Parle (Tilak Mandir).
