On the occasion of Diwali through Shivsanskruti Samajik and Bahuuddeshiya Trust, the children of Navodaya Residential School for mentally challenged children and Orphanage for mentally challenged children at Pathardi, District Ahilyanagar were provided with essential items, sports materials, new clothes, pulses, food grains, household utensils, food items, etc. And food was donated for these children. At the beginning of the activity, the inspiring image of Chhatrapati Shri. ShivajiMaharaj was worshiped by dignitaries. After that, the present dignitaries were felicitated with shawls and sreefal. On this occasion, the founder of the school as well as the headmaster expressed their feelings and gave information about the various difficulties that the institution has to face while raising the children here. This school has mentally retarded special children from all over India and no information about their parents is available. Also, there is a huge lack of medical facilities and ambulance is not available on time, but even in such a situation, every employee of the organization is trying to provide treatment to these children as soon as possible. The happiness on the faces of these children was doubled when the children were adopted for a day due to the cooperation of all the donors of the trust in accordance with the said activity. Also, after distributing new clothes, food and toys to the children, these children were overwhelmed. For this initiative, the manager of the residential mental school Shri. Pratap Nirhali, Principal Shri. Adinath Shirasath, Art Teacher Shri. Appasaheb Gaikwad and Headmaster of Anath Matimand Vidyalaya Shri. Sachin Tarwade, Superintendent Shri. Sambhaji Zaware, Principal Shri. Nitesh Meghner and all the staff of both the schools received valuable support. The administrators expressed their gratitude to all the donors of the trust for providing a months ration, sports materials and new clothes to the children of these two schools on the occasion of Diwali activities due to the cooperation of all well-wishers and donors of the trust. During this activity, the trustee of the trust Shri. Amar Ranaware, Shri. Vinay Gawade as well as member Shri. Santosh Bhabad and Shri. Mahesh Kalyani was present. The said institution as well as many schools and hostels for orphans and mentally retarded boys and girls across Maharashtra, the subsidy received from the government is very little and therefore such institutions have to struggle to manage the cost of raising these children. However, through Shivsanskruti Trust, it is being requested to the government to provide ample amount of subsidy to the humanitarian organizations that maintain such social commitment.
