Amravati corporation officials adopt malnutritioned children

Exhibiting the existance of hidden humanity behind their often stubborn faces, officials of Amravati Municipal Corporation has adopted children in the city who are victims of malnutrition and living in dangerous health conditions. AMC officials have set an example of giving a caring hand to those who need it most. Amravati district is famous for the deaths of malnutritioned children and poor implementation of literally all schemes of the government, thanks to negligency of officials. NGOs and newspapers are writing over the years about the malnutrition in Melghat but situation has changed least and around 500 children are dying even today in Melghat every year. Not only in Melghat, malnutrition is a problem to be handled seriously even in the cit also. Malnutritioned children have been found in slum areas of the city in considerable number. As a part of performing the duty towards society AMC Commissioner Uday Rathod called a meeting of his officials and appealed them to adopt one undernourished child in the city. Responding promplty to the appeal by their boss, 13 officials in AMC have adopted children in Grade 4 of malnutrition living in different parts of the city. Deputy Commissioner Prashant Rode has adopted 2 year old Chandan Mulmule of Kharkadipura, Group Develpoment officer Madan Tambekar has adopted Avinash Thakre (4, Dasturnagar), Ogale has adopted Wanshika Ingole (1, Belpura), Education Officer Savita Chakrapni has adopted Rajani Khandare (4, Belpura), Encroachment department head Gangaprasad Jaiswal has adopted Pranita Bagal (3, Hamalpura) while Bijwe has adopted 3.5 year old Seema Gharde of Badnera. Similarly, AMC officials Rehman has adopted Fariya Fatema (1, Ratanganj), Patil has adopted Minakshi Kharpate (1, Anandnagar), City Enginner Adchule has adopted Pawan Pathar (3.8, Vilasnagar), Tappe has adopted jiya Dongre (2, Belpura), Junior Engineer Bobade has adopted Bhavana Shendare (4.6, Belpura), Deorankar has adopted Prem Chandekar (5, Badnera) and Deshmukh has adopted Ujjwal Khadse (2.3, Aurangpura). All these children will be treated At Ayurvedic College run by Shri Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandal. AMC Commissioner Uday Rathod himself has not adopted any child yet, but very soon he will be also in this list of 'good persons'. Rathod told that we are doing this as an experiment and we had asked officials to participate in this noble work volunteerily. If our experiment will get success we will then appeal to people to help us in increasing the lifeline of unfortunate children in our society. It is to be noted here that the work started by AMC is not a part of government scheme, but Corporation has taken this responsibility at its own which definitely be inspiration for others in the society.
