Seniors show the way to school

The members include retired businessmen and police officers.

“Education of these children should not stop without stationery and books. Each child was given a dozen notebooks and stationery,” said Shantiprakash Navalgaria,president of the association.

“Many domestic helps and sweepers cannot afford to send their children to school. We are trying to make sure these children get education.

“Municipal school fees are negligible but buying books and uniforms costs a lot. We are trying to cover this aspect,” he said.

Navalgaria owns a factory in Kohinoor Industrial Estate along Goregaon Western Expressway.

Shraddha Yadav,a class six student of Goregaon Municipal School,is a beneficiary.

She said: “I want to study and these things will be useful.”
