The year 1991 witnessed the release of the Hindi Film "Prahar" directed by the nestor of Indian Cinema Shri Nana Patekar. This film dealt with hitherto unexpected area of a soldier's psyche. It depicted how a soldier's mental robustness matches his ambition to conquer the enemy on the battlefield. In fact, today the need to fight off the internal enemy is greater then ever. The last frame of the film shows a multitude of smiling; guileless children bereft of any vile or anti-social feelings, running together in the pure and natural state, an optimistic picture of tomorrow's citizens. 'Prahar Samaj Jagruti Sanstha' seeks to take a step towards realizing this very message of hope. The movie depicts a very realistic picture of a soldier and today's society, which needs such kind of soldiers. It is with this objective of cultivating such a mindset in today's youth that Prahar was founded on the 9th January 1994 by Col. Sunil W Deshpande VSM (Retd). Prahar is non political and is a charitable trust.
