Students from ITI, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, Morwadi and Kasarwadi took up the task of converting waste wood into paintings under the able guidance of Swati Korde. A resident of Palash society in Wakad mentored the students and showed them how they could convert waste wood into paintings which now adorn the walls of the main PCMC office building.

It was Swati Korde and enthusiastic residents of Palash society who took the initiative of creating similar artwork in their premises two years ago. The initiative was noticed by the PCMC authorities and they decided to replicate it.

Swati Korde was requested to help and guide the students in this unique programme.

Swati Korde while speaking to Pune Pulse said, “I am grateful to the PCMC Commissioner Rajesh Patil, Vikas Dhakne, additional commissioner, Dr Anil Roy for their encouragement and support. I appreciate the sincere efforts of the ITI students who took this opportunity to utilise their talent and created such beautiful artefacts. They have a major role in this initiative.”

Kiran Vadgama, Chairman, Palash CHS Ltd said “We are extremely happy that our resident Swati Korde played a major role in this unique project.”
