Maharashtra Mandal, Victoria

Whenever a Marathi speaker decides to be NRI,the first thing they try to find out is whether there are any other ‘Marathi Mandali’ around. This affinity and affection has resulted in the establishment of many Maharashtra Mandals around the world. In 1981, the Australian Marathis living in Victoria,( Australia) got together and formed Maharashtra Mandal Victoria, adding another Mandal to those around the world and it was formally incorporated as a 'not for profit community organisation' in 1989.
