A VISIT TO THE COLLECTOR’S RESIDENCE

The morning of February 24, 2022, brought happiness into the lives of little children residing in Lavina Seva Sansthan and TAD’s Ashram Hostel Pai, who were left orphaned due to Covid19. This happiness was due to a special invitation to the District Collector’s home.

The officer invited a total of 75 children to his residence where the other officers like SDM Saloni Khemka, ADM Ashok Sharma, were also present to greet and interact with the children.
