Introduction:
When we speak about democracy, it implies democracy in Nation, state, region, village and democracy in society in which all we are belongs to. Any organization works and strive for upliftment and strengthen the socially and economically backward communities in the society, should strive for their active participation and involvement in the process of upliftment and development of their self and nation as well.

Bhart Dnyan Vidnyan Samudray alis BGVS; in association with All Indian People Science Network (AIPSN) works for the same purpose in whole nation.  It is an Association of Person (neither a religious nor politically affiliated) works for the welfare of common people without considering any caste, creed, religion, race, colour and gender. It works with human being and for human being. It works in the field of Education, Health, Drinking water, child and women welfare, Agriculture, scientific temper and many other issues of human concern. It has stake in all communities, religions, castes and gender. But lagged behind in achieving predecided organization goal.

Specifically, when we speak about Maharashtra, comparing with other states in India; growth of BGVS in all sections and layers of society is not satisfactory. So, as a Member of BGVS Maharashtra, researcher focused on the issue and find out reasons behind such combat failure in expansion, even trying hard.

Population and sample:
Conclave was limited to active delegates from 5 districts of Maharashtra. So, number of paricipants limited to 80. Out of which 48 delegates participated in the survey.

Methodology & Data Collection:
For this purpose researcher has collected data through primary data sources like questionnaire, interviews and opinions of delegates and opinions of members and non-members.

For the questionnaire, researchers has  considered credential report of the delegates participated in 8th Maharashtra State conclave held at Lingnoor,  Dist-Kolhapur.
To collected the data, credential forms are used  as questionnaire and also words with delegates. Opinions are recorded on the various questions answered in the questionnaire and oral opinions expressed by delegates.

Analysis of data:
Out of total participants 70.83% were male delegates whereas female representation were less than 30%.
Out of total participants, 45.83% belongs to general, 12.5% belongs to SC. ST, SBC and don't like to disclosed the caste  accounted only 2.08% each. 18.75% counted for OBC's. 10.43% counted for NT. There is no representation of VJNT community in BGVS delegates.
Out of total participants 62.5% belongs to Hindu, 4.17% each for Muslims & believers of Human being is the only religion on earth. There is no representation of christian in organization. There is also a notable point that 22.92% says that they don't have any religion.
Out of total delegates, 43.75% falls in middle class as there income is more than ₹1,00,000- but less than ₹5,00,000/- . 14.58% with income more than ₹5,00,000/-accounted for higher middle class but all they are male. 12.5% delegates falls in low income group. Whereas 29.47% delegates don't have any income and most of them are housemakers or students.
Researcher also focused on occupation of delegates and found that 50% in employment, 6.25% are farmers and business each, 8.33% are students, whereas 29.17% are working as labour or housemaking. So, we have so much less stake from business and farming community.
Organization has 8.33% delegate who join beforr year 2000, 41.67% joined between 2000-2005, 14.58%  joined between 2005-2010, 12.5% joined 2010-2015, 22.92% joined after 2015.

Finding:
1. Study shows that the national picture of male and upper caste dominance reflects in organization also.
2. There is no strong agenda to increase the representation of females and socially backwards from top to bottom.
3. Organization don't have units in the villages, blocks and districts in which majority of population belongs to scheduled tribes, Nomadic tribes, scheduled castes.
4. There is no single block or village or district committee, in which female representation is 50% or more.
5. There is no single village or block or district committee  in which representation of SC, ST, and/or NT, VJNT is 50% or more.
6. There is no agenda framed by National or state BGVS to achieve this representation.
7. There is very less participation from business and farming community.
8. Organization has almost 50% delegates joined after 2005. So, they have experience in working atleast for 13 years. They can lead organization and guide to newcomers systematically and efficiently.
9. Cultural activity is a big platform to attract new generation and youth to work with and for. Education and Yuva manch is also another valuable path to attract new one.
Suggestions:
1. The work should be spread in districts like Solapur, Nandurbar, Dhule, Gadchiroli in which ST population is more.
2.Work should be expanded in blocks like Ambegaon, Daund, Khandala, Maan-khatav, Malshiras in which ST and NT population is more.
3. At least one village & one block in the state should have whole committee which represents all women and/or all memebers belongs to economically and socially backward members.
4. National and state BGVS should provide detail guidelines and agenda to inculcate the same.
5. Problems of farming communities are crucial today. They need support, guidance and help. We should meet there minimum. Requirements of support and guidance.
6. Concentrate more on education, Agriculture and yuva manch. These three contributes to 91% of total population of nation. Also, they have lot of ideas, skills and energy, which can be utilised for organizational and social development.*

The Long Fight to Be Heard: How Julie K. Brown forced the world to see the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein? - By Dr. Rahul Kharat

The Long Fight to Be Heard: How Julie K. Brown forced the world to see the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein: Article by Dr. Rahul Kharat (या लेखाचा मराठी भाषेतील अनुवाद इंग्रजी लेखाच्या खाली दिला आहे.) When journalism works at its best it does two things: it finds those who have been silenced and gives their stories a voice, and it forces institutions to answer for what they let happen. That is the story of one reporter’s stubborn, painstaking work — reporting that peeled back decades of secrecy, challenged powerful people, and changed the course of a legal narrative that had protected a wealthy predator. The outlet that published much of that work was the  Miami Herald , but the engine behind the investigation was the single-minded determination of a reporter who refused to let the story die. Julie K. Brown spent more than a year tracking down survivors, court documents and hidden agreements. She located and spoke with scores of women who had never told their stories publicly — over 60,...
