INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Vinod Tawde stands as a prominent figure in Indian politics, known for his leadership within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His political journey has been marked by a commitment to public service and the betterment of society. As a senior leader, Tawde has held numerous significant positions throughout his political career, reflecting his dedication to the party and its ideals. His story begins in the realm of student activism, where in 1980 he joined the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), an influential student organization linked with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Rising through the ranks, he became the Secretary-General of ABVP in 1988 and later took on the role of National Secretary in 1993, showcasing his early leadership capabilities.

In 1995, Tawde’s political aspirations took a more formal shape when he joined the BJP as General Secretary, a position he held for four years. His commitment to the welfare of the community was particularly evident in 2011, when he advocated for mill workers, addressing their pressing housing issues and vowing to find a fair resolution. Additionally, he took significant steps to resolve an overdue insurance premium issue affecting 45,000 members of the police department, further solidifying his reputation as a problem-solver dedicated to the needs of the people.

Tawde’s political prowess was highlighted through his efforts to expose corruption in the irrigation sector, where he revealed that despite an expenditure of Rs. 70,000 crore, the increase in irrigated land was a mere 1%. By employing various legislative measures, he successfully pressured the government to form an inquiry committee led by Madhavrao Chitale. His extensive 15,000-page documentation of evidence played a crucial role in the committee’s findings, which ultimately implicated both officers and ministers in corrupt practices. Furthermore, his demand for a special session of the state Legislature to discuss the Adarsh housing society scam exemplified his unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability in governance, even though the government failed to act on his call.

The year 2014 marked a significant milestone for Tawde as he won the Maharashtra Assembly election from the Borivali constituency, securing his position as a member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly with an impressive margin of 80,000 votes. Following this victory, he was appointed by then-Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to a crucial cabinet role, overseeing multiple portfolios, including School Education, Higher & Technical Education, Marathi Language, Cultural Affairs, and Sports. During his tenure, Tawde implemented various public interest initiatives, such as the Human Organ Transplantation Act and the Maharashtra International Education Board, alongside the innovative ‘Pustakanch Gaav’ initiative. This unique project, inspired by the literary town of Hay-on-Wye in Wales, transformed Bhilar in Satara district into India’s first village of books, further enriching the nation’s cultural landscape.

In addition to his political endeavors, Tawde serves as a director of Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini, a non-profit organization dedicated to training socio-political activists in leadership skills, reflecting his investment in nurturing future leaders. His commitment to public service is complemented by his personal interests; an animal lover, Tawde shares his home with two cats, embodying his compassionate nature. As a key member of the coordination panel during the 12th and 13th general elections, Vinod Tawde continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of Maharashtra and beyond, driven by a vision for a better society.
