Governor Appreciates Educational Initiatives and Encourages Children to Pursue Education and Skill Development

Mumbai, November 12, 2026: Thirty children from the Mang Garudi nomadic community, studying at Palawar School in Kudwa, Gondia district of Maharashtra, met Governor Jishnu Dev Varma at Lok Bhavan on Thursday. The children shared their Mumbai visit experiences and expressed excitement at seeing the sea for the first time.

During their visit, the children explored the Nehru Science Centre, Siddhivinayak Temple and Vidhan Bhavan. They also recited the 15th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita before the Governor, who appreciated their pronunciation and performance.

Governor Jishnu Dev Varma praised the efforts of the Bhatke Vimukta Vikas Parishad in bringing children from nomadic and denotified communities into the mainstream of education. He encouraged them to study sincerely and acquire vocational skills to build a better future.

Prashant Suresh Borse, Head of the Parishad's Education Department, said that children from the community often miss out on education because their parents migrate to different states in search of employment. To address this issue, a school has been established at Palawar, where children receive education along with lessons in discipline, values, sports and healthy living.
