In his farewell speech, outgoing president Raipure said that 750 solar panels were installed in Dharni and Melghat region in 2016 to light up many remote areas.
Kothe spoke on the activities they carried out during 2016-17 under the theme of ‘sustainability’ and also mentioned about ‘Saturday School Project’ that is close to the team’s heart.

Former president Sanjay Tatwawadi said about Rotary’s solar project and design of new panels. The modified built-in panels are automatic and possess a motion sensor, he said.
The panels will be functional as soon as they stop charging. This will help save on electricity and with built-in system, it would be difficult to cause any harm.
