Vision & Mission
Rooted in Heritage. Growing with Community.
Vision
To preserve, promote, and celebrate the vibrant heritage of Maharashtra, while fostering a united and thriving Marathi-speaking community in Montréal that embodies cultural pride, inclusivity, and shared purpose.
We believe in creating a space where traditions are not only remembered but lived. A space where the richness of Marathi culture, language, and values are passed from one generation to the next – even far from home.
We envision:
-
A culturally self-sustaining community in Montréal that serves as a beacon for Maharashtrian identity and values in North America.
-
A place where elders feel respected, youth feel inspired, and newcomers feel welcomed.
-
An organization that continuously evolves to meet the needs of modern families, while staying deeply rooted in cultural authenticity.
In essence, our vision is to make every Marathi individual in Montréal feel a strong sense of belonging, pride, and participation.
