In a unique and thoughtful initiative, Ms. Minal Karanwal, a 2019 batch IAS officer and CEO of Zilaparishad in Nanded, Maharashtra, has launched a campaign encouraging people to donate stationery items such as registers, notebooks, pens, pencils, geometry boxes, sketch pens, and color pencils instead of presenting bouquets to officers.
