Founded on the platform of being ‘a medium of social change’, the contribution and championing of social causes has become ingrained into the ethos of the Sakal Media Group, and has become central to the identity of the group itself. While the seeds of this spirit were planted by the founder of Sakal, Dr. N. B. Parulekar, it has been nurtured by the Chairman Pratap Pawar and Managing Director Abhijit Pawar.
