Hindu Jagran Manch also Called as H.J.M (translation: Forum for Hindu Awakening) is an Indian Hindu activist group affiliated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). It focuses on spreading awareness among Hindus and providing common plateform for all organizations working for welfare of Hindus. It was founded in 1978 in Moradabad (UP). It first came to public attention for its activism against forced conversion in the tribal areas of the Dangs district of Gujarat in 1998.[1][2][3][4][5] It and other similar affiliates Hindu Jagran Samiti, Hindu Jagran Samaj and Dharm Jagran Samiti have been implicated in the aggressive Ghar Wapsi (reconversion to Hinduism) programmes in 2014–2015.[6][7] It has its presence in more than 17 states of India. It shot to prominence in state of Rajasthan in 2020 when it started self employment for displaced labourers due to Covid19 induced lockdown. A scheme of Aarthik Swavlamban is launched to provide self employment.
