MUMBAI, NATIONAL, 11 NOVEMBER, 2026 | GPN, SACHIN MURDESHWAR 📞8109510506 / 9869646783: The ‘GRD10 – A Legacy of Inspiration’ initiative was launched on the 75th birth anniversary of the late Ghanshyam Rajnarayan Dubey, former member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council and senior Shiv Sena leader. The initiative, conceived by his daughter and renowned Mumbai radiologist Dr. Sunita Dubey, also launched an official website documenting Dubey’s life, political journey, social work, and achievements at a ceremony held in Andheri West on Tuesday. Ghanshyam Dubey had organized several wrestling competitions in Mumbai and promoted this traditional sport. He also contributed to the spread of education by establishing a college in Suriyawan, Bhadohi district.

On this occasion, Dr. Sunita Dubey shared her views on health and girl child education. She said that every citizen’s first investment should be in their health, as health is a human’s most valuable asset. She explained that in North India, girls’ education was once not invested in, believing they would have to move to another home after marriage. In such a social environment, her father encouraged her to continue her studies and inspired her to move forward.

At the ceremony, the launch of the GRD10 National Awards was announced in five categories: politics, education, arts and culture, and wrestling. Speakers on the occasion, including former MP Gopal Shetty, BJP MLA Sanjay Upadhyay, North Indian leaders Dr. Radheshyam Tiwari and Sagar Tripathi, Congress leader Avnish Singh, senior journalist Brajmohan Pandey, and RTI activist Anil Galgali, shared their experiences and memories with Ghanshyam Dubey. They paid tribute to him by recalling his political career, social contributions, and personal relationships. GRD10 aims to work in the fields of education, health, public welfare, and social service, and to uplift the underprivileged and vulnerable. This initiative aims to carry forward the social commitment and inspirational legacy of the late Ghanshyam Dubey, conveying his thoughts and contributions to future generations.
