Abhinandan Lodha Yashvi Lodha and students with their Solar Bags along with Forest Authorities Cap
The Sheetal Lodha Foundation’s ‘Supporting Education’ initiative successfully concluded its Solar Bag Distribution event on Saturday, 19th October at Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivali. The event aimed at empowering 70 students from the Adivasi communities of Tumnipada, Koknipada, and Navapada by providing them with solar-powered bags to overcome the challenges posed by the lack of electricity in their villages.
The initiative, spearheaded by Yashvi Lodha, daughter of Sheetal and Abhinandan Lodha, distributed the solar-powered bags, ensuring that students have access to a reliable source of light for their studies and daily activities after sunset. The event was a heartening success, with enthusiastic participation from students, community members, and local officials. The event was also graced by the presence of Mr. Abhinandan Lodha, father of Yashvi Lodha and Chairman of Lodha Ventures and forest officials, including Mr. N.B. Muthe, Range Forest Officer, and Mr. Raju Patolde, Vanpal from the Forest Department.
The event began with a lively musical performance by The Lucky Charms, a teenage band that energized the audience with uplifting Hindi songs. The distribution ceremony was followed by an inspirational address from Ms. Yashvi Lodha, encouraging the children to continue their education despite the challenges they face.
Yashvi Lodha shared her thoughts on the initiative, stating, “Education is the medium to the path to a brighter future, and every child deserves the chance to learn and grow without limitations. Through the Solar Bag Initiative, we aim to bridge the gap for students who face daily challenges due to lack of electricity. These solar-powered bags are not just tools for studying—they are a symbol of hope, resilience and light for all these students.”
After the address, Yashvi, along with Mr. Abhinandan Lodha and the forest officials personally handed out the solar bags to the students, who expressed excitement and gratitude for this life-changing gift.
The initiative aims to remove one of the major barriers to education in these communities—the lack of lighting after sunset. With these solar-powered bags, students can now study without interruption, making strides towards a brighter future.
