A Boost for the School Year
The event saw Rotarians hand over neatly stitched uniforms, along with notebooks and compass boxes, to each of the 150 students. For many, these supplies are more than just essentials—they are tools that help them participate fully in their education. With these new uniforms, children can attend school feeling confident and equal, without the barrier of worn-out or mismatched clothing.
The Importance of a School Uniform
A school uniform is more than fabric and thread; it fosters equality by reducing social distinctions, instills discipline, and cultivates a sense of pride and belonging. For students from underprivileged backgrounds, having a proper uniform can be a motivating factor to attend school regularly and engage more actively in learning.
Leadership and Community Presence
The distribution event was graced by Dr. Anjali Chitanis, President of the Rotary Club of Pune Amanora, who emphasized the club’s dedication to education and social causes. “This initiative is part of our ongoing mission to support the community, especially its youngest members,” she said. Principal Surekha Chavan expressed deep gratitude, noting how such efforts directly uplift the morale and participation of students. Club members, including Deepak Kudale and Sameer Kulkarni, also contributed to the smooth execution of the program.
