Jogeshwari Misal Empowers Tribal Students with Bicycle

Jogeshwari Misal, led by Sarvesarva Shri Sachin Lahu Hargude and Shri Nitin Lahu Hargude, donated bicycles to students at New English School in Jambhalewadi (Satewadi), Tal. Akole, Dist. Ahmednagar, supporting education in remote tribal areas. This CSR initiative addresses challenges faced by students trekking long distances through hilly terrains like Yesarthav, Khetewadi, and Ghotkarwadi.

Impact on Students' Lives

Students previously walked 6-7 kilometers daily to school without public transport, often arriving late and risking disruptions in studies. The bicycles ease commutes, boost punctuality, and enhance academic performance for children from underserved villages. Recipients expressed joy, promising better focus on education

आज मला खूप अभिमान वाटतो की, ज्या हातांनी आम्ही मिसळ वाढतो, त्याच हातांनी आज आम्ही मुलांना सायकली देऊन त्यांची स्वप्ने पूर्ण करण्यास मदत करत आहोत. आता कोणत्याही विद्यार्थ्याला शाळेत जाण्यासाठी पायपीट करावी लागणार नाही.(Today, I feel incredibly proud. The same hands that serve Misal are today helping these children fulfill their dreams by gifting them bicycles. Now, no student will have to struggle on foot just to reach school.)
