We celebrated Raksha Bandhan in our ZP Score High computer classroom with a special theme – Eco-Friendly Raksha Bandhan. 🌿💻

Our students showcased creativity and sustainability by crafting beautiful handmade rakhis. They tied rakhis to each other, strengthening bonds of friendship and care, and even tied one to a tree, symbolizing our promise to protect and nurture nature. 🌳

Along with the festivities, students also learned about the history and significance of the Raksha Bandhan festival. The highlight of the day was the stunning handmade rakhis – each one a unique work of art, crafted with love by our talented students! 🎀✨

Aastha Beggar Rehabilitation Shelter – A Ray of Hope

In the recent special street rescue operation by NMC, Aastha Beggar Rehabilitation Shelter played a vital role in rehabilitating homeless individuals. Ten rescued male beggars were shifted to the shelter at Ghat Road, where they will receive care, dignity, and support to rebuild their lives.

Such efforts, in collaboration with the NMC’s Social Development Department, Sitabuldi Police Station, and the District Child Protection Unit, are crucial in addressing homelessness and supporting vulnerable populations with compassion and responsibility.
