A Driving Force of Marathwada Development. Balasaheb Pawar was a visionary politician from the Marathwada region of Maharashtra. He was instrumental in introducing the co-operative movement in Marathwada that led to the overall development of the region. He entered politics in 1950 through the Indian National Congress to strengthen Marathwada. He did not have a godfather but was deeply influenced by his family’s urge to help anybody in need.

Under his leadership, educational institutions, hostels, dams and co-operative sugar factories were established. This led to a steady economic and social development of the people who were otherwise ignored in the grand scheme of things at that time.
