Organisational Structure of MANS

Founder of MANS, Late Dr. Narendra Dabholakar has created a foolproof, sustainable Organisational Structure and Election System based on Democratic values and understanding.  There are three layers in the organisation:
1) Branch ​                               2) District                                  3) State

Branch is the Basic working Unit of MANS and it works through 350 Branches in all the 36 Districts of Maharashtra State. MANS carries out its activity without any Government Grants or any International Aid. MANS is the only organization of this type in Asia, which works purely with the support of Public.

आइए शाखाओं के प्रकार को समझें!

अग्रणी शाखा:

यह जिले की सक्रिय एवं अग्रणी शाखा है। यह शाखा कई पहलुओं में आत्मनिर्भर है और अन्य शाखाओं को सहायता-मार्गदर्शन देती है। लीड लेता है

इस प्रकार की शाखा नियमित बैठकें (साप्ताहिक/त्रैमासिक) आयोजित करती है, MANS के अभियानों को क्रियान्वित करती है और जो हमेशा सक्रिय रहती है।

सक्रिय शाखा:

उद्यमशील शाखा:

वह शाखा जो नियमित रूप से बैठक आयोजित नहीं करती है, लेकिन एमएएनएस की कभी-कभार गतिविधियों को निष्पादित करती है।

लिंक (संपर्क) शाखा:

लिंक शाखा बैठकें आयोजित नहीं करती या कोई गतिविधि निष्पादित नहीं करती। यहां केवल संपर्क व्यक्ति ही उपलब्ध हैं। ऐसी शाखाओं को लिंक या संपर्क शाखा कहा जाता है।

Now let us understand about the Types of Activists who work on ground level 

1. Active  Activist

  1. He is directly active in organizational work.

  2. After own health, Family, Business or Service the next propriety for him is the Organisation.

  3. Attends most of the Branch Meetings. Gives time, labor and money for the  organization. Accepts various responsibilities. Is active office-bearer of the Organisation. 

2. ​Well-Wisher Activist

He is the supporter of thought and work of the organization. He may not necessarilybe active on regular basis. He extends whatever possible help and supports organization. He can be designated as President, Vice-President, Guide.

3. Active on Personal Level  

Where there is no Branch of MANS, but may be a single person is working on spreading thoughts of the Organisation, such person is Active Activist on Personal Level. However, it is expected that as soon as possible, he should open a Branch of the Organisation at that place. Where a Branch of MANS is already available, no person can become such an Active Activists at Personal level.
