Social work of Vitthal Ramji Shinde
Solution
Maharshi Vitthal Ramji Shinde was one of the most important social and religious reformers in Maharashtra, India. His greatest contribution was to attempt to remove the practice of untouchability and bring about equality to the depressed classes in Indian society. To aid in his social reform, he established Marathi schools and work schools in parts of Parel and Deonar in Mumbai. Being a prominent campaigner on behalf of the Dalit movement in India, he established the Depressed Classes Mission of India to provide education to the Dalits in 1906. He was also a known practitioner of satyagraha, often resorting to it to gain benefits for the Dalits.
