NOINO WZ study class - views of AI General Secretary

Recently (on 15^th & 16^th August 2011) NOINO West Zone arranged a study-class for their activists from West Zone and Zonal Presidents & Zonal Secretaries of other Zones at Satara. Report of the study-class stands published on 17^th August. Our All India General Secretary Shri Ganesh Kamath was present during the entire period of the study-class. In the following thought he has expressed his views on the study-class.

STUDY CLASS AT SATARA

               The study class at Satara was an experience to remember for me. But first of all, let me first congratulate Shri Vishwas Shastri & his team at Satara for organizing a wonderful study class. Shri Shastri is never short of enthusiasm, many-a-time ignoring his own health. His dedication to the organization is worth emulating. It is clear that such an event required a good amount of money. However, except for the delegates fees' collected, never a word was uttered by Shri Shastri about funds. He was ably supported by Shri Daithankar, Shri Gangakhedkar, Shri Zari, Smt Chothe, Shri Sadigale & others(whose names I do not recollect, for which they may kindly forgive me) for which we all are eternally grateful.

               The lecture by Dr. Pingle opened new vistas of outlooks to the life. All present were richer by the experience. All the delegates participated with fervour. The group discussions saw even new activists discussing animatedly. The elocution competition brought forth the talent among the participants.  The cultural programme saw many talented artists coming to the fore. Our Gujarati brothers broke into an impromptu garba. Shri Vilas Purkarji, (our Zonal President with a multi-faceted personality) surprised many with first rendering an Odissi poem at the inauguration & then joining our Gujarati brothers in the Garba with gay abandon. Smt. Gore from Nagpur sang soulfully & the Gazhal which she sang to end the programme moved many.

               The trip planned to Sajjangad was a thoughtful welcome addition, one which gave the participants a chance to brush with the divine. Anagha Sant, our organizing secretary of WZ is an able lady who conducted the questionnaire part with finesse. She is a woman with clear concepts & a clean heart & needs to be complimented for her enthusiastic participation. The heartful rendition of 'Vande-mataram' by Shri Badge was the icing on the cake.

               All in all, I loved the experience. I thank all the participants for making this event a grand success.
