NCP Youth Distributes School Materials

NCP National President and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s birthday is being celebrated as “Jan Vishwas Week” in Nashik from July 22 to July 28. On this occasion, Nationalist Youth Congress City President Ambadas Khaire cut a cake with needy students and distributed school materials and notebooks to them.

Ambadas Khaire said, “These school materials are being distributed to needy students as part of ‘Jan Vishwas Week.’ Many individuals who studied in schools have gone on to hold high positions in various fields. However, some students face financial challenges that hinder their education. Recognizing the importance of keeping these students in the education stream so that the country does not lose the potential of hardworking individuals, and to ensure that the insights and efforts of smart and wise individuals benefit society, I appealed for donations of books and school materials instead of birthday gifts for Ajit Pawar.”

First Experiment in the State Launched at Ganga Mhalungi

The District Administration, in collaboration with the Nashik Forest Department and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), has initiated an innovative project to plant seedballs using advanced drone technology on 100 hectares of barren land in the Nashik district. This pioneering experiment was conducted on a mountain in Ganga Mhalungi village, Nashik taluka, in the presence of District Collector Jalaj Sharma. This marks the first such experiment in Maharashtra.

BPCL, through its CSR fund, has acquired 100 hectares of barren land in remote and ultra-remote areas of Sinnar Nashik, Hivre Bilge, and Ganga Mhalungi village in Nashik district. The challenging terrain of these hilly areas makes them inaccessible to humans. By employing advanced drone technology, BPCL aims to plant 2 lakh trees using seedballs across this 100-hectare area.

Collector Jalaj Sharma, along with Conservator of Forests Pankaj Garg, Biju Gopinath of BPCL, and Rajan M., participated in the seedball sowing event using drone technology on the hills of Ganga Mhalungi village in Nashik taluka.
