‘संपुर्ण राज्याचे सार ते दुर्ग’ means ‘Forts are the essence of the kingdom’ this was a view of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj about forts. Our great king knew the geographic and strategic importance of these forts and he used it to make his empire from scratch.
We have more than 350 forts in Maharashtra out of 1000 odd forts across India. As per the Adnyapatra of Shivaray, forts were maintained by the Maratha Empire till 1818, after that the British either destroyed their strength or they got damaged during war.
Forts are our pride and we must take care of our historical monuments. Today, there is a need to take care of our forts and conserve them for the future generations. It’s now or never!

FORTS FOR CONSERVATION
Our Work
We have been working for more than fifteen years for the conservation of forts. We started with working on Rajgad fort in 2007 and we worked till 2012 after which the government took over the charge. We have been working on Rohida Fort since 2007, Tikona Fort since 2009, Dharmaveergad since 2012 and Tung Fort since 2013.
BE THE CHANGE!
NEED OF DURG SAMVARDHAN
Forts are an inseparable part of our history, we are fortunate to have such a treasure in our
country. Our ancestors sweated blood to build these forts, the cost and effort to make these forts today is beyond imagination. If we can’t make them now, it’s our duty to preserve them.
Though it is mammoth work and can not be done with a group of few people, it doesn't stop us.
We have set our goals and made teams of people for different forts, which are working with all the spirit and hard work to restore and maintain the forts. We believe, one day this movement will become huge and each fort will have its own team to look after.

श्री धर्मवीरगड दिपोत्सव
2023
प्रत्येक वर्षी आपण धर्मवीरगड ला दीपोत्सव साजरा करतो. यात लोकांकडून योगदान म्हणून पणत्या घेतल्या जातात. ज्यांना पणत्या देणे शक्य नाही ते पणत्यांच्या किंमती इतके आर्थिक योगदान देतात. पुण्याहून संस्थेचे कार्यकर्ते आणि इतर इच्छुक दुर्ग सेवक मिळून पणत्या धर्मवीरगड ला पोचवतात.
गेल्या वर्षी तब्बल तीन हजार पणत्या गडावर एकाच वेळी लावल्याने गड अक्षरशः उजळून निघाला होता. संस्थेचे श्री मुकेश पवार आणि त्यांचे मित्र यात पुढाकार घेऊन प्रत्येक वर्षी हा अद्वितीय उपक्रम पार पाडतात
