Who was the founder of Mewar Praja Mandal?

During colonial rule, princely states such as Mewar were not part of British India and were governed directly by their local rulers (durbars). To press for constitutional reforms, civil liberties, and responsible government inside these states, local political and social reformers formed state-specific bodies called Praja Mandals (people's associations) — broadly paralleling the Indian National Congress's demands in British India, but organized separately, state by state, each under its own local leadership.

In the princely state of Mewar, this role was played by Manik Lal Verma, who founded the Mewar Praja Mandal on 24 April 1938 to organize local reformers and press the Mewar durbar for responsible government.

• Motilal Tejawat led the Bhil peasants' Eki ("unity") movement against forced levies in the Mewar-Sirohi tribal belt — a separate tribal agrarian protest, not the state-level political association that is the subject of this question.

• Vallabh Bhai Patel's major historical role was leading the post-1947 integration of princely states into the Indian Union — a different, later, national-level task, not founding Mewar's own pre-independence Praja Mandal.

• Swami Govindanand's political and social activities were centred on Sindh, a region with no connection to the organization founded inside Mewar.

Hence, Manik Lal Verma — who established the Mewar Praja Mandal in 1938 — is the founder this question is asking about.
