Pune ( Date: 30^th Apr.2012)

Cummins Generator Technologies has always supported Snehalaya in various humanitarian works. Three years earlier, Snehalaya requested Mr. Pradeep Bhargava (Manging Director, C.G.T. India) to sponsor for 20 KVA D.G. set due to electricity issues. He replied positively and assured to support in this regard. C.G.T. donated the DG set worth Rs. 2, 85, 000/- to Snehalaya.

Today Cummins Generator Technologies organized a send-off programme on the occasion of the retirement of Mr. Pradip Bhargava (Managing Director, C.G.T. India) in Pune. Bhargavaji is also close attached with Snehalaya family and visited to Snehalaya a number of times.

On this occasion Bhargavaji appreciated the Snehalaya humanitarian work and he also appealed through this send-off programme to all Commins Generator Technology group members, who come from across India, to contribute to and support Snehalaya. Bhargavaji donated Rs. 35,763 by cheque to Mr. Suvalal Shingavi (Bapuji), Mr. Ramakant Tamboli and Mr. Bharat Kulkarni on behalf of Snehalaya. Bapuji gave the testimonial to Bhargavji on behalf of Snehalaya and over 100 participants were present at the programme.

English Medium School Changes Lives

The story belongs to an innocent boy, Rohit Prakash Bhandare. He lived in Sanjaynagar slum area in Ahmednagar city. Rohit has four sisters, two brothers. His mother does a minor work for livelihood and his father is a drug addict. The family environment is always stressful, not conducive to the development of the children and the family is not educated.     

  

Rohit is 6 years old and studying in 1^st in Snehalaya’s English Medium School. Rohit is a calm boy in nature. He has not much interest in studies but is good in sports. He is also an expert in making instruments. The reason behind his poor interest in studies is that Rohit has not had enough help and support in education.

Schools most focus on overall child development with subjects like English, maths, computers, value ads, work ads, general knowledge, physical ads, drawing and crafts. In school, we must encourage the students for development in skills and virtues and also consider our students' interests while teaching. This system is commonly successful and effective in student progress and exactly the same has happened with Rohit.

Rohit is changing positively now. He is playing with numbers in maths and can read and write. Some qualities are developing within his mind like social skills, skillfulness and determination. Now he can make craft items because of guidance and motivation from school teachers. He also operates computer application tools. Rohit is enjoying learning so he regularly comes to school.

Story of Suitcase

This story of a suitcase started 23 years ago.

Late Nemichandaji. Mishrilalji Abad was born and brought up in Nashik. He was a faithful Jain. He was doing a small trading business. Nemichandji used to earn only those things which are required for his basic needs. If anything he received remained extra at the end of the month, he immediately gave it to any needy person or Jeev seva. Basically he believed that utilizing money for temples, religious programmes, Pujas or for feeding well-off people for any reason is a crime against humanity and Almighty. He remained a bachelor throughout his life and helped & encouraged everyone in his family and society  for education, especially to  the girls.  Nemichandaji died 23 years ago when he had reached his fifties. Before his death he called his brothers and sisters. He told them that he wanted to keep nothing behind as everything he had was given by society. Nemichandaji  has handed over all his remaining  lifetime earnings to them kept in this suitcase. Nemichandaji told them to use it for the weaker in family or for themselves as the family gave him love and respect throughout life. He left a separate share for social purposes and died with left literally zero.

The bag was in the house of Abad family. The brothers and sisters were insisting each other to use the money. But  no  one touched it. Five years ago, the bag was handed over to Mrs. Nirmala Anupchand Sanchti. She is the younger sister of late Nemichandaji. Nirmalaji  and her family  run a Sari shop in Ahmednagar. Nilesh, Nirmalaji's son was a class and roommate of Adv. Shyam Asawa in a Maheshwari Hostel at  Ahmednagar. Shyam is a very active member of Snehalaya. Nirmalaji shared this story to Shyam and asked his guidance about what to do with this bag. Nirmalaji told Shyam that this lifetime earnings of a thorough religious person (Nemichandaji) must be utilized for   most favorite work of God. Shyam introduced them to Snehalaya. Today this bag was handed over to Snehalaya. Snehalaya has received total amount of rupees 39,563/- in a form of 1, 2, 5 and 10 rupees kept in this bag.

Nirmalaji told Snehalaya family, she has become free from  debt of her late brother today. She added that she has been released from stress since the death of Nemichandaji  as the money was utilized as her late brother exactly  wanted.
