On 29th October 2010 at 5:30 pm a Hindi "Hassya Kavi Sammellan" was organized at Vasantrao Deshpande Hall, Civil Lines, Nagpur. This was a fund raising event planned and totally organized by Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Management Studies and Research, Nagpur. This Institute is associated with SSS since last 6 years. They have been helping us in many different ways. The donation coupons were of the denomination of Rs.365/-, 500/- and 1000/-. These were sold by the faculties and students. During this same period, MBA students sold the "Diwali Diyas" worth Rs.36000/-. A good job done indeed. The profit generated through this sale will go to the students of this Rehab unit. SSS does not use this money. The initiative and idea of having this event was of course of Dr.Sujit Metre, Director of the Institute. Dr. Metre is the key person and a great motivator for all students. Needless to say he is the most popular teacher in the Institute. He is not only favorite of the students but is popular amongst the alumnae also. He not only helps SSS in such fund raising activity but also brings every batch of MBA students to Sandnya Srushti for awareness purpose. This practice continues for last 6 years with out break. I call him a great champion of the noble cause of mental disability and loving supporter of "differently able" children.
