Updated on: Monday, August 22, 2011

In an effort to bring about the change, the students from Mumbai schools saved from their pocket money and donated the same in a project that involved desilting a well in a tribal town in the district.

A group of students from schools in Mumbai under the banner of Solar collected the pocket money given to them through out the year by their parents and used it for community purpose in Murbad town.

The children took under their wings the expenses for desilting and repairing a well in hamlet Gagurli of Murbad taluka which was reeling under water shortage.

The gesture of the students touched the hearts of villagers who felicitated them at a function recently.

The students even turned up as fund raisers as the amount they had collected fell short initially.

Maharashtra Director of Posts, Abha Singh who inaugurated the well restored in Murbad said, "A very good example set by the students who also care for the villagers and the society".

Moved by the gesture, she said the the department of Posts will also help in village development.
