Mumbai, Feb 12: Chief Editor of Sakal Marathi daily newspaper Mumbai edition, Rahul Gadpale and Bhavani Foundation founder president Daddangadi Chelladka K D Shetty inaugurated Bhavani Bhavan auditorium constructed by Bhavani Foundation Navi Mumbai for the benefit of people from three villages in Pirkatwadi, near Panvel, Raighad district.

Advocate Moidin said that villagers living here are without basic needs. “Our national leaders and local elected representatives should come here and be ashamed. The matter should reach not only to state Mantralaya but the union government at the centre. It is a misfortune of the country that there are Adivasi villages such as this and people living in acute poverty even after seventy years of independence. It appears that God has arrived through the service of Bhavani Foundation. May the villages be models at least after this,” he said.

Foundation managing committee member Ankita J Shetty, Pandith Navinchandra R Sanil, Premanath B Shetty Mundkoor, Karnoor Mohan Rai, Shashikanth Thakre, Sanjiva N Shetty, Dinesh S Shetty Padubidri, Dhananjay Shetty Kolpe, Santhosh G Shetty Panvel, Sanjiva T Shetty Ulepady, Bhasker M Shetty Talipadiguthu, Sujatha Dharmpal Devadiga, Sujatha Shetty, Poornima P Shetty, Hemalatha S Shetty, Sumana K Shetty, Prabha V Shetty, Gunavathi Y Shetty, Veena A Shetty, Yashodha D Shetty, Geetha S
Shetty, Jayanti C Shetty, Indira S Shetty, Sanjivini Shetty, Prerana Gaurav, Khalapur taluk teachers association, villagers from Pirkatvadi, Arkatvadi and Umbarnevadi were present.

The area found in between forests at the end of an hour's travel on road without tar is a surprising spot. Local elected representatives in the invitations who should have taken the responsibility were missing.

Umesh Vichare introduced the guests and compered the programme. Teacher Parshuram Pundalik Tassode proposed the vote of thanks.
