The Rotary Club of Nigdi, Pune and Rotary club of Pune Riverside have jointly undertaken a social and commendable initiative to enable Anganwadis in Maval taluka to develop educational infrastructure. They have allocated approximately ₹25 lakhs for this purpose, which has been widely appreciated in the taluka.

Quote
CA Umesh Jalan stated that due to a lack of adequate funds, Anganwadis in rural areas do not develop fully. Hence, they undertook this project to provide necessary facilities to Anganwadis. He expressed the hope that the provided resources would be utilized effectively.
This initiative is expected to significantly contribute to providing quality educational infrastructure to children in rural areas.
