On this occasion Mrs. Anushree Bhide and Anand Bhide who contributed Rs 3 crore for social work from their personal income were felicitated by the Governor.
Governor emphasised that at one time, Germany, then Japan, and eventually China’s products began to be sold all over the world. The Governor said that India will definitely make its place in the world if everyone works with the spirit of patriotism to make the twenty-first century India’s.

Governor said “There are many schemes for village development by central and state governments. But due to the lack of information among the rural people, those schemes are not getting enough benefit to the concerned people. For this, the social organizations should convey the information about the development plans to the people, so that the economic condition of the villages as well as the people in the villages will improve”.
Governor further added “When a person has wealth worth crores of rupees, it is definitely important that he donates a few lakhs of that wealth to social causes. But while he has one chapati himself, it is more important to give half of it to the needy, the governor said, hoping that politics should not be brought into the development work”.
Minister of Skills and Tourism Mangal Prabhat Lodha, CEO of MITRA Pravin Pardesi, Chairman of Seva Sahyog Foundation Atul Nagras, Chairman of Shikshan Prasarak Mandali Adv. Sadanand Fadke, Trustee of Seva International Dr. Alka Mandke, Director Kishore Moghe and others were present.
