SSGM marked its 25th Silver Jubilee Year in 1995 and began its journey to being one of the top most Ganeshosav Mandals in Thane and Mumbai. The committee members of SSGM took the responsibility of decorating the pandal themselves and still continue to do all the work of decoration, ornamentation as well as refurbishment by themselves to date. Over the years Team SSGM has successfully raised social awareness by including topics such as, ‘The Influence of Social Media’, ‘Global Warming’, ‘Stree Shakti’, ‘Deh Daan’, amongst many others as our themes.

This initiative has won SSGM over 70 awards and nominations including the prestigious Thane Mahanagar Palika Award, Shiv Sena Thane Zilla, Thane Police Ayukta, DNA Eco Ganesha, Loksatta, Alpha TV Marathi, etc. Every year over 25,000 devotees come to offer prayers to their beloved ‘Bappa’ and witness the spectacular decorations.

Additionally, SSGM undertakes various social and cultural activities throughout the year such as Health Check-up Camp, Senior Citizen Camp, Blood Donation Camp, Deepotsav, Sobha Yatra, cricket and football matches, etc. Recently, SSGM has undertaken an entirely original and ecological initiative of ‘Seed Bombs’ which aims to create a greener society for our generations ahead.

As we embark upon our 50th Golden Jubilee Year in 2020, we take a vow to continue our efforts of promoting social awareness and welfare as well as making our country Cleaner and Greener.
