Narayan Gangaram Surve (15 October 1926 – 16 August 2010 [1]) was a Marathi poet from Maharashtra, India.
Through his poetry, he celebrated labor and challenged the conventional norms of Marathi literature, which was primarily focused on entertainment at the time. He aimed to convey the hardships of poverty and inspire the underprivileged to overcome it through hard work.[2]
In 1995, he became the chairperson of the Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan.[2]
