RMP government leadership training mission was implemented first at the behest of parliamentarian Rambhau Mhalgi.

[10] In 1982, Pramod Mahajan, senior BJP leader, opened Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini at Keshav Srushti campus at Uttan village, near Bhayandar. [12] [13]

In January 2020, the Congress party objected to training government officials at RMP citing right-wing political leaning of RMP. [14] [15]
