During the nineties when  the socio economic diversities began to raise their voices in all over Maharashtra State specifically in the urban areas; Marathwada a region of Maharashtra would be called as the most backward region in the context of education, economic and social conditions of people.No awakening stirred people especially women to come out from ignorance, stereotyped social norms & roles that made them more vulnerable to violence and subjugation. Prof. Shaila Paranjpe Lohiya who was a professor at local arts college realized the tragic situation of women and girls in Beed district. She thought financial independence may improve their condition and position in the family as well as in society. So she initiated  ‘ Savitri Mahila Udyog ‘ an informal group to provide   Skills training and develop entrepreneurship among women who  were  estranged by husband , or widows . More than one thousand women were benefited and many more started supplementary income generation. Shaila Lohiya  wished to address and  incorporate all the issues that cause deprivation of women through separate women  association . Thus the Manaswini  Mahila Vikas Sevabhavi Sanstha  is established in 2014 on her first death anniversary by her followers and  disciples to chess the dream of women empowerment.
