Who We Are

Mandhardevi is a small village, nestled in the hills of the Sahyadri range in western Maharashtra. At an altitude of over 4000 ft above sea level, it is home to many naturally gifted athletes. Rajguru Kochale, an instructor at the local panchayat school, has converted his small patch of agricultural land into a 200m long athletic track, seeking to train his students to become better athletes. Each morning at around 5.45am, a group young children, aged between 12 to 20 years, arrive there to train.

This effort was encouraged by the Chowgule Group and has now blossomed into what is now MAF
