Popatrao Baguji Pawar (born 1960) is the farmer sarpanchofHiware Bazar, a gram panchayatinAhmednagar districtofMaharashtra India.[1][2] He was the only post graduate in the village. In 2020, he received the Padma Shri honour from the Government of India for his contribution in the field of social work.[3]

He is the Executive Director of Maharashtra state government's Model Village programme.[4] He is credited to have transformed it from an impoverished village into a model of development that the government of Maharashtra wishes to implement across the state.[5][6]

Pawar led Hiware Bazar's transformation from a drought- prone village to a green and prosperous model village, thus successfully reproducing Anna Hazare's Ralegaon Siddhi model of village development.[7] He featured in an India Today cover story as the person who demonstrated how rural water resources could be revived.[6]

The Hiware bazare gram panchayat, with Pawar as its sarpanch, won the first National Award for community led water conservation in 2007.[6][8]

In an interview with Nikhil WagleonIBN Lokmat, Pawar describes his entry into public life as an accident.[9][10] In relation to the control of malaria he is quoted to have said "Show me one mosquito (in Hiware bazar) and take away Rs 100."[11] He speaks regularly at Policy BootCamp,[12] a flagship summer school in public policy conducted by Vision India Foundation.
