Teacher Honored by Morari Bapu Gifts 1500 Pair of Shoes to Students in Velvach; Smiles Light Up Faces of Poor Kids
Breaking News: A wave of joy and inspiration has swept through the education sector of Valsad district. In a heartwarming humanitarian gesture, 1,500 pairs of shoes were distributed at the Velvach Primary School in Valsad Taluka.
This noble initiative has brought smiles to the faces of hundreds of underprivileged children who often walk barefoot. This massive distribution drive was not just a charity event but the result of the dedication and social responsibility of a single teacher.
The event, covering the entire Faldhara CRC (Cluster Resource Centre), stands as a shining example of how education and service can come together to create a miracle for rural students.
Makar Sankranti Gift for 1,500 Kids
The atmosphere at Velvach Primary School was festive. While most people celebrate Makar Sankranti by flying kites or making donations, this event focused on securing the steps of the future generation.
The drive successfully provided high-quality footwear to approximately 1,500 students studying in various schools under the Faldhara CRC.
For many children in these rural belts, owning a proper pair of shoes is a luxury. Receiving this gift during the winter season is nothing short of a blessing, protecting their feet from the cold and the rough terrain they traverse to reach school daily.
Teacher Digvijaysinh Thakor: The Man Behind the Mission
The driving force behind this massive operation is Ramanlal Digvijaysinh Thakor, an enthusiastic teacher from the Kakadmati Primary School in Valsad.
Adding a layer of prestige to the event, Mr. Thakor was recently honored with the ‘Best State Teacher’ and the prestigious ‘Chitrakoot Award’ by the hands of the renowned Ram Kathakar, Pujya Morari Bapu, on the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti.
Instead of just celebrating his personal achievement, Digvijaysinh decided to share his joy with the students. Using his goodwill and network, he reached out to the corporate world to make this ambitious project a reality. His selfless effort has earned him praise across the entire Valsad region.
Corporate Support: Greensole & Anu Pharma
No big task is possible without support. Digvijaysinh’s vision was backed by the generous contribution of Greensole Foundation and Anu Pharma.
Both organizations, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), stepped forward to provide high-quality shoes for the children.
Greensole Foundation is widely respected for its unique model of recycling old shoes into comfortable new footwear, thereby serving both humanity and the environment. Their representatives were present at Velvach School to personally ensure that the aid reached the deserving hands (and feet).
Covering the Entire Faldhara Cluster
What made this event unique was its scale. It was not limited to just one village. The benefits reached every single primary school under the Valsad Faldhara CRC.
The organizers had meticulously planned the distribution. Measurements of the students from all schools were taken in advance to ensure that every child received a pair of shoes that fit them perfectly.
When the distribution began at Velvach School, the joy on the faces of the children was priceless. The principals and staff from all schools in the cluster gathered to witness this moment of happiness.
Dignitaries Grace the Occasion
The distribution ceremony was attended by several prominent figures. Suryakumar Sawant from Anu Pharma, along with Amol More and Riasat Kamar from Greensole Foundation, personally helped the children wear their new shoes.
From the education fraternity, Piyush Patel (Joint Secretary of Valsad Taluka Primary Teachers Association) and Kanubhai Patel (President of Valsad Teacher Society) graced the event.
These leaders lauded Digvijaysinh Thakor’s efforts, stating that such initiatives play a crucial role in uplifting the standard of government schools and motivating students to attend classes regularly.
Honoring the Award-Winning Teacher
The event was also an opportunity for the school family to honor their hero. The Velvach School staff and guests felicitated Digvijaysinh Ramanlal Thakor for bringing glory to the district by winning the Chitrakoot Award.
Receiving blessings from Morari Bapu and then translating that into service for 1,500 kids proves that a teacher can indeed be a change-maker in society. In his speech, Digvijaysinh humbly credited the donor organizations for the success of the event.
Gratitude from Velvach School
The program was executed flawlessly. Snehalbhai Kothawala, the Principal of Velvach School, expressed deep gratitude to the donors.
He remarked that giving shoes to 1,500 children has boosted their self-confidence. The sight of children collectively thanking the donors was touching. A large number of parents also attended the event, appreciating the teachers for going beyond their call of duty.
Conclusion: Making Future Steps Stronger
In conclusion, the distribution of 1,500 pairs of shoes at Velvach School is more than just material aid; it is a symbol of care.
The foresight of an award-winning teacher has given a new lease of comfort to rural education in Valsad. We hope that companies like Greensole and Anu Pharma continue their noble work.
The happiness radiating from the children’s faces as they ran around in their new shoes is the true measure of this event’s success.
