Social Service League (1911)

Narayan Malhar Joshi, a leading member of the Servants of India Society, founded the Social Service League in 1911. The objective of the movement was “to collect and study social facts and discuss social problems with a view to forming public opinion on questions of social service” and to secure for the masses a better quality of life and work. The League opened a number of day and night schools, libraries, dispensaries and started boys’ clubs and scouts corps.
