Mr. Salauddin Mohammed Thakur is known as a renowned personality in Konkan & one of the prominent industrialists. He is the owner of Thakur & Marco group of companies which are having various branches in India. He is known to be a greatest philanthropic in Konkan area of Maharashtra.

Mr. Salauddin Mohammed Thakur is having a great faith in the Almighty Allah & was a divine activist. He would always help the poor, needy & the orphans of any caste or creed. He followed humanity & secularism. He always kept himself away from popularity. He thought the poor people of Konkan have their limitation within their village only.

He wanted the young villagers to learn self reliance, self respect & to builtup bright future. He would take the young people to Mumbai & allowed them to join them as apprentice in various technical Trades as Welders, Fitters, Turners & Diesel mechanical in his industry, which made them self dependant by earing livelihood. By 1980 approximately 2000 boys was trained in these trades.

There was initially no basic facilities of communication or transportation to the village & the surrounding villages. He made roads to join the surrounding villages and started ST bus services & he also brought telephone facilities & mobile post office in 1973.

He would always take prior permission from the government to initiate any programme for the development of the area but he would accomplish the works by his own funds without any expectation from any individual or the government.

He is also ahead to formulate proper policies to execute the same in his own presence under the sun or the rain. There was no proper water facility to these villages up to 1983. The Women & children were getting the water from the distanced well or river far away from the village. Therefore, he built a water tank of one Lac liter capacity entirely from his own funds.
