Veer Jijamata Prani Sangrahalaya (Zoo), fondly known as “Ranicha Baug” is located at Byculla but the children of this locality have rarely got a chance to visit this place. MNVS, under the guidance of local MLA Shri. Bala Nandgaokar & MNVS President Shri. Aditya Rajan Shirodkar, have organised picnics for school children into the zoo to give them a glimpse of the greenery, wild life & increase their general knowledge by taking them to the famous Bhau Daji Lad Museum.

Be it the locks out of the mills in Mumbai or the recession period, children are the first to suffer off it. The childhood is lost in the chaos of this huge city. MNVS is trying to give a time out to the students in this busy schedule of life & bring a smile on the innocent faces.
This event is scheduled for March 8 2009
Please contact Shri. Amol Rogye (Vibhag Adhyaksha-MNVS, Byculla) on 9867712389 for further details.

GRAND SUCCESS OF BALL DANCE
(Click here for photos related to this event)

The idea of ‘BALL DANCE’ programme was innovative. The two words when split have different meanings. MNVS organized cricket and dance competitions as first step towards providing opportunities to youth to display their talents. Both the competitions were special attractions for the students.

College students from Mumbai, Thane, Nashik and Pune participated in these competitions with great enthusiasm and the events were very competitive. MNVS won the hearts of the students by these experimental competitions. The grand finale of these competitions was held at Andheri Sports Complex, Mumbai where more than 35000 students attended. The memories of the finals remained engraved in their memory.

After the BALL DANCE competition, MNVS organized “FOCUS CAREER FAIR’ at Ravindra Natya Mandir in April’07 &’08. This fair was a showcase of career opportunities and challenges they presented to the youth for a bright future.

To graduate and search a job was the goal of past generations. Present generation has vast career opportunities. To guide the youth to select proper career path, MNVS under the dynamic leadership of Aditya Shirodkar organized the fair, which gave them a ray of hope.

The fair served as a ‘Lighthouse’ for the youth in their search for opportunities in life.
Various renowned institutions imparting training in the fields of advertising, travel & tourism, beautician, event management, film production, hospitality industry, information & technology, research & development, mass media, sound recording, photography, journalism, air hostess training, etc. had participated in Focus Career Fair.

MNVS received encouragement from success of programmes concerning future of youth such as BALL DANCE & FOCUS CAREER FAIR. Honourable Shree Rajsaheb Thackrey appealed to the students to save Maharashtrian Culture, Marathi language and literature and not to forget the history. This appeal resulted in the splendid display of Maharashtra Dharma.

‘Maharashtra Dharma’ was inaugurated with reading of verses penned by renowned personalities which included Historian Babasaaheb Purandare and master blaster SAchin Tendulkar. Lovers of history and literature acclaimed ‘Maharashtra Dharma’ with tears in their eyes and urged that such programmes be held every year.

The display of shining swords and other weapons which forced Muslim aggressors to run helter and skelter in the Sahaydris ranges three hundred and fifty years ago was magnificent and inspiring.

The sight of replicas of forts was stunning. Nearly 110 publishers displayed books on various subjects. ‘Maharashtra Dharma’ attracted people of all ages and lakhs attended the magnificent show.

Special feature was the display of the photographs of the forts of Shivaji Maharaj, a record registered with guiness book of World Records..
