Jalgaon: Festival Spending Slashed To Build Garden, ‘Oxygen Park’ In Paldhi Village

Jalgaon: In a display of social responsibility, the Gulabrao Patil Mitra Parivar has decided to divert funds from extravagant festival decorations to build a garden and an oxygen park for Paldhi village. The initiative aims to create a long-lasting amenity for the community, providing a space for recreation, relaxation and health benefits.

Minister Patil expressed his satisfaction, stating that this project serves as an example of how festival expenses can be utilized to create a permanent asset for the community, promoting happiness, health and environmental consciousness.

The GPS Mitra Parivar has a long history of undertaking socially beneficial projects, including water conservation, eye care, support for visually impaired individuals, aid to distress families, and educational assistance. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by prominent figures from the community, including industrialists, intellectuals and former leaders, highlighting the widespread support for this socially conscious endeavor.
