Mumbai: Ajay Devgn has always been at the forefront of noble causes like 'Support the Girl Child', donating cars for Mumbai Police patrolling and has always contributed to the society in his own inimitable way. This time the actor has gone a step ahead and will be seen leading from the front yet again by supporting the Mumbai Police in their 'Daan Utsav' campaign for rehabilitation of underpriviledged families and education of their children.
This noble cause will be inaugurated by Devgn on the October 8th at an event at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Mumbai. Last year the Mumbai Police had organized a similar 'Daan Utsav' at Birla Matoshri Hall for supporting the cause of elderly citizens in association with Dignity Foundation. However, this year the objective is to start a long term initiative by helping children and women of Faase Pardhi and Waghri tribes who are begging on the streets of South Mumbai.
Ajay Devgn will be seen supporting the cause and talking about the long term objectives like creating a beggar free zone in South Mumbai by rehabilitating children and their families. The children will be rehabilitated through non-profit organisations, so that they can pursue education and are given optimum opportunities and a holistic growth.
Parents of these children will also be rehabilitated by providing skills training and employment by the following organisations so that they do not dropout their children from school and re-initiate them into begging by Kherwadi Social Welfare Association and Pipal Tree Foundation. The Tribal Development Department, Nashik and its branch at Thane is also associated with the cause and will help enrol the children to Tribal Boarding Schools.
