Day 1
Great changes are brought about through small efforts of many hands anxiously engaged in good cause. To bring smile on innocent faces of needy children, students of MPTP Shirpur campus organized a "Diwali Social drive” named "Each One Save One”.
On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, students of MPTP under the guidance of Dr. Payal Dande joined hands for a three day social activity EACH ONE SAVE ONE that aimed at bringing smile to the faces of needy students from various schools and organizations of Shirpur and nearby areas.
The drive was approved and whole heartedly supported by our beloved Director Dr R.S. Gaud, Mr. Rahul Dande, Dr. Aaquil Bunglowala and Dr. Ashwini Deshpande. Everyone right from management, faculty, staff and students contributed for this beautiful and pious social cause.

Drawing and stationery material sufficient for a complete year was gifted to 60 mentally challenged students. Our students were more than happy to help them have a great Diwali celebration. They played, danced and ate with them. It was indeed a gala time for all of us. According to the students, this event became one of the most cherished and unforgettable experience of their lives. The feeling of contentment and satisfaction was clearly visible on the face of Director and faculty members. Most of the students showed their eagerness to spend time with them.
