On June 23, 2024, the Rotary Club of Bombay concluded a transformative journey for Rural Meharashtra with the #inauguration of the Integrated School Development Project at Vavar Ashramshala, Jawhar Taluka, Palghar, Maharashtra.
Supported by Indian Oxides and Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., the project aimed to uplift Tribal female students from Std. I to X residing at the Ashramshala.
President Manoj Patodia led a group of donors, Rotarians, and friends on a 5-hour drive to witness the joyous reception from the students, who expressed their gratitude through dance and music.
Despite challenging conditions, the visit reaffirmed the project's impact on over 198 students, enhancing their lives with solar-powered amenities like Solar Water Heating Systems, Solar Street Lights, a 1 HP Solar Pumping System, and a 6 KW solar off-grid system for electrification.
This initiative not only reinforces the club's commitment to sustainable rural development but also embodies the Rotary motto of "Service before Self." As the team reflected on their journey home, they knew this project would continue to make a lasting difference in the community it serves.
