To reassure safety of children at rural schools, the Rural team at
Katarkhadak offered temperature guns and oximeter to 9 ZP schools in the Mulshi
valley. The Principals of these ZP schools in Katarkhadak, Aandhale, Jawal, Khamboli,
Pimpoli, Kemsewadi, Rasalwadi, Shelkewadi, Gawarwadi were extremely touched by
our gesture to help them restart schools.
Our rural team was more than happy to contribute to the
well- being of rural schools in these times.
Manoj ji inaugurated a small-scale enterprise, an initiative
of the Katarkhadak village youth, Janardhan and Ganesh. This unit proposes to
manufacture paper and leaf eco-friendly bio-degradable plates. The finished
products will be provided to nearby villages and city for various events. It is
a solution to have a great control and respect for plastic and non-bio-degradable
material.
Our rural development team is happy to lend a helping hand
to the rural youth, who continue farming along with such enterprising endeavors.
Connecting them to various people and buyers around.
Village children love to come to school,most of them, and when the school is closed due to the pandemic and Covid for a long time they really miss their friends and studies too.

Raw food, pranayama and meditation being the main features, the programme aimed at building responsible world citizens. Students relished the Prasad offered after each session and loved making charts with positive affirmations.

Our Rural team members, Renuka, Rafik, Amol and Gurukulam sports teacher, Rahul trained the students in yoga.
An ISP (Infant Siddha Program) session was conducted for rural parents. The sessions were a prelude to happy parenting days. Aimed at parents of children from 0-7 yrs., the program aids in providing the child conducive environment for all round growth.
One of the participants, Mrs. Seema Kamble, a ZP school teacher, practiced one of the applications of ISP on her students and reported,” Earlier the students were disinterested in learning new English words. But with flash cards as a ‘Fluent forever’ technique I learnt in the ISP session, I have noticed that the student engagement has gone up and they are a happy bunch of motivated learners now.”
The rural participants immediately applied some tools like Sleep talk, flash cards transforming themselves into ‘Yes ‘ parents.
Mrs. Shilpa Kshirsagar , our rural team member, resolved the queries of inquisitive parents. The parents were more than happy to receive this easy to apply knowledge for making learning quick, fun and long lasting.
We conducted SSY sessions for 21 rural participants of Katarkhadak village. This total health management program brought out the best in the participants by giving them enough food for mind, body and spirit.
The participants ruminated on the knowledge given and reported a positive change in their attitude. Appreciating this life enhancement programme, Miss. Kaajal Malpute confessed, “I was very diffident about my entrepreneurship skills. The program has given a new confidence to take up a new project.”
We Our rural team member, Mrs. Shilpa Kshirsagar along with Rambhai and Hemali conducted the sessions.
Little dancing feet of our ZP school students left us mesmerized when we organized a classical dance workshop for them. The students made the most of the limited resources and unlimited enthusiasm. Giving their 100%, they displayed extraordinary talent in learning to dance on a Marathi devotional number.
Such dance workshops that are on their way to becoming a regular feature in ZP Schools are enjoyed thoroughly by the simple rural kids of Khamboli, Katarkhadak, Jawal and Aandhale.
We invited Miss Neha Nalawade, a Bharatnatyam dancer, to conduct the workshop.
