Pimple Saudagar:
Amid the festive spirit of Diwali, Unnati Social Foundation organized its traditional and cultural initiative, the “Fort-Building Competition,” which concluded with a lively prize distribution ceremony.
This year, 210 students participated, showcasing their creativity and patriotic spirit through impressive models of historic forts. All participants were honored with mementos and gift hampers, while winners of the “Essay Writing” and “Drawing” competitions were also felicitated.
Speaking on the occasion, Foundation President Dr. (Mrs.) Kundatai Sanjay Bhise said, “This event is not just a competition but an effort to help children connect with the legacy and history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Every year we host this fort-making contest, but this time we plan to take the children to actual forts to help them understand their geographical and historical importance. Through guidance from historians, we want to inspire them to appreciate the courage and vision behind every fort they recreate.”
Guests at the event expressed that such initiatives strengthen children’s pride in history, culture, and national heritage.
The program was graced by Unnati Social Foundation founder Sanjay Bhise, Sameer Devre, Balasaheb Kate, Prakash Zinjurde, Rajendra Jaswal, Balasaheb Chaudhary, and Amol Narkhede. Members of Vithai Library, Anand Hasya Club, All Senior Citizens Association, Linear Garden Senior Citizens Group, and several residents and participants from the Pimple Saudagar and Rahatani areas attended in large numbers.
