IGP, Sunil Phulari Advises Children of Construction Workers; ‘BAI’ Honors Meritorious Students
Pune: “The economic situation of construction workers is often dire. Despite this, many parents strive to educate their children. Therefore, children who have the opportunity to receive an education should make efforts to attain good education to change their own and their families’ status. If they build their careers through quality education, their economic and social status will change,” advised Sunil Phulari, Special Inspector General of Police (IGP) for the Kolhapur region, to the children of construction workers.
Phulari was speaking at honoring ceremony of the meritorious children of construction workers organized by the Builders Association of India (BAI) Pune Center. The event took place at the Vishnukrupa Auditorium in Saturday Peth, and was attended by former Vice President of BAI’s Western Region Ranjit More, BAI Pune Center Chairman Sunil Mate, Vice Chairman Ajay Gujjar, Honorary Secretary Rajaram Hajare, Treasurer Shashikant Killedar Patil, program coordinator Karan Pawar, former president R.B. Surya Vanshi, B.S. Chaudhary, P.S. Parhar, Jagannath Jadhav, Shivkumar Bhalla, and others. Nearly 100 boys and girls were honored with educational materials and certificates.
Sunil Phulari stated, “There are many government schemes for construction workers and their children. The association should work to disseminate this information to them. This initiative to encourage these children to pursue education is commendable. We need to show empathy towards construction workers. Workers, and especially boys and girls, should stay away from addictions. Students should focus on careers in police recruitment, banking, and other sectors. The association should take on a guiding role in this work.”
Ranjit More emphasized the importance of education to the students, urging them to take advantage of the opportunities available to them to uplift themselves and their families. He also spoke about the various initiatives the Builders Association is implementing for construction workers.
