Which Indian leader went from village to village asking farmers to contribute a paisa to the Paisa fund?
The Paisa Fund was made famous by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, who went from village to village, asking farmers to contribute a paisa to the Paisa Fund, the first mutual fund (used to fund local entrepreneurs). The idea of the fund itself came from Antaji Damodar Kale, who helped set up the Paisa Fund Glass Works in Talegaon near Pune, the first glass factory in India.
