Conservation
On September 8, Bandu organized a programme at Mudholi to
plant saplings. 4 villagers, 5 teachers and 37 students from the village joined
Bandu in the programme. A similar programme was organized on September 15 at Bhamdeli
in which 2 villagers, 2 teachers and 17 students participated. A total of 20
saplings were planted in the programmes.
The saplings included karanj,
jambhul, sitaphal, neem and mango. We procured the saplings from the villages
and distributed them to the schools where they were planted.

On September 7, Bandu organized an anti-plastic programme at
Kondegaon in which 20 students of the village’s Zilla Parishad Primary School
participated. Bandu explained the harmful effects of plastic on the environment
and the need to keep plastic litter and waste buried so that they aren’t blown
away into jungle areas. The children first cleared the main road of the village
of plastic litter and waste and later cleared the school premises as well.
A similar programme was organized at Kutwanda on September
17 in which 18 students of the village’s ZP Primary School participated.

On September 11,
Bandu organized a programme at Sitarampeth to clear the common area and main
road of the village. 8 villagers, 2 teachers and 14 students from the village
joined Bandu in the programme. A similar programme was organized on September 24 at Junona in which 7
youths from the village participated. Photo below: Sitarampeth
On September 13, Bandu organized a programme at Junona to
clear the area around a well. Water had spilled over while people drew from the
well. This had stagnated, leading to proliferation of mosquitoes and insects.
Our team cleared the area, removing scum and organic growth and dug a canal to
drain away the water. 2 youths from the village joined Bandu in the
programme.
Environment Education
During September, Bandu made 10 classroom visits to speak to
students of village schools on various aspects of nature and wildlife
conservation.
During the month, Bandu organized a nature game for Zilla
Parishad Primary School students of Adegaon during which he spoke to the students
about nature and wildlife and the need for conservation. Photo below.
Employment Cell
During September, we selected 30 youths from Katwal,
Kutwanda, Mudholi, Sitarampeth, Bamdeli, Moharli, Junona and Adegaon for a
programme to train them as drivers of four-wheelers. We held an awareness
programme at our Moharli office to explain to the candidates the various aspects of
the programme as well as their livelihood prospects once they completed the
training. Ajay Poddar, our Employment Cell Officer, and Sagar, the trainer from
the driving school at Chandrapur, spoke to the candidates.
