The bicycles will save the school children several kilometres of walk
Railway ticket checkers from the Central Railway (CR) Mumbai have been collecting broken bicycles from housing societies, fixing them and donating them to school kids in the tribal-dominated Jamsar village in Palghar. In addition to this, bulk collection and donations also include footwear, books, and pens/pencils for kids appearing for SSC exams.
Walking all the way to school in the sun and rain has been a problem. The roads are bad, and there are not many options for faster transport. The bicycles have come as a boon,” said Class 9 student Swapnil Jayram Vad from the Bambreapada hamlet in the village.
