In the past Shikalgar's were recognized as Dharwale, Saanwale because of their occupation. Many had registered this name on their Ration Cards too.
They felt the importance of this and Established Sanwala Association Mumbai. Hence the businessmen displayed the sign board outside their Shops. This created an awareness amongst them. Later on they brought all the shikalgar as well as non shikalgar association under this banner and laid the foundation of the Association.
