The Poona Sarvajanik Sabha was established on April 2, 1870, by Mahadev Govind Ranade, Ganesh Vasudeo Joshi (Sarvajanik Kaka), S. H. Chiplunkar, and others. It was an important socio-political organization in Maharashtra that played a significant role in representing the grievances of the people to the government.

The Sabha worked as a mediator between the government and the people, articulating the demands and aspirations of various sections of society, particularly the peasantry, through petitions, meetings, and publications.

The Poona Sarvajanik Sabha was a precursor to the Indian National Congress (INC) and many of its members played crucial roles in the early years of the INC. It helped in fostering political consciousness among the people and laying the groundwork for the nationalist movement in Western India.
