Paper instead of Plastic

One of the most important qualities of the leader is being able to help others and make a change. Thus, Yuvaraj D Patil, a student at VSM Institute of Technology in Nipani developed an environmental friendly approach and came up with the idea to re-use paper. After students complete their studies there are papers and books, which are not going to be used. Usually, students sell paper and get 2 rupees per kilogram. However, Yuvaraj came up with the idea to re-use paper and make envelopes for sale instead of using plastic envelopes. Selling envelopes, students can make up to 10 to 15 rupees per kilogram and safe the environment from excessive use of plastic. For this project, Yuvaraj gathered together all the students from his village of Nitawade. The Leader taught them how to be creative and make envelopes. Although making envelopes was challenging, together students were able to make almost 300 envelopes for sale. After the project was completed, Yuvaraj has realized how many things he was able to accomplish. The plastic use is reduced, environment is preserved, students were able to earn money and gain creative skills.

 

Hospital for Animals

Farming and agriculture depend on domestic animals. That is why successful farmers keep their cows healthy.

Yuvaraj D Patil from Nitawade village realized that there is no doctor to help farmers cure their animals. Yuvaraj is a student at VSM Institute of Technology, he decided to arrange a hospital for animals in the village of Nitawade.

Every family in the village has a cow or a buffalo. However, there is no veterinary clinic in the whole village. So, Yuvaraj decided to meet one veterinary doctor and to organize a hospital, so that a doctor can visit 3 times a week, educate farmers about health problems of their animals and examine them. Fortunately, the doctor accepted his request and the project was realized. Yuvaraj is happy that from now on, cows will stay healthy and milk production will increase. The impact of the Yuvaraj’s project for the whole village is huge and people are very grateful for Yuvaraj’s effort. Now diseases of domestic animals can be prevented, agriculture, farming and milk production can be increased improving the lives of many people in the village.

Stop Harmful Alcohol Production

Alcohol consumption can be extremely harmful for people, especially when producers don’t use high quality products and raw materials.  Yuvaraj D. Patil from VSM Institute of Technology in Nipali decided to create awareness about alcohol production and consumption in his village of Nitawade. Knowing about potential harm of the chemicals used for alcohol production,Yuvaraj decided to warn residents of his village to be careful consuming alcohol from local stores. Yuvaraj knew that there was a wine shop in his village that sells alcohol produced from jagri. Yuvaraj also was familiar with alcohol extraction process in which chemicals were used. So, he decided to visit jagri production house and recommended not to use chemicals in the production process. The LEader took an initiative to talk with the shop owner and producers not to produce alcohol using chemicals and not to sell fake wine as it can affect people’s health. This project helped at least one farmer to change his mind and to give up drinking alcohol.
