Standing today by this milestone of 58 years, its position of strength speaks for itself - 16,000-odd buses, 12,000 employees, about 70 lakh citizens utilizing the service daily.
Significantly, the ST does not only carry people but also takes care of the postal mail, distribution of medicines, newspapers and even tiffins to children studying in the bigger towns. In rural areas, it aids farmers to transport their goods to the cities. All this in the face of bad roads, recurring losses, hiked taxes and yet it retains its identity of a transport service for everybody.

The saga of Muktangan Mitra started in line with Dr. Anita Awachat’s ideology. An adolescent child of one of the family friends got addicted to Brown Sugar and this became the turning point for Dr. Anita Awachat. Not only did she help her friend and her son to fight and come out of the grips of the vice, she took eradication of similar kind of vices as her life-long mission.
Muktangan De-addiction Centre and her vision became a reality and it was started as Anand Ward, within one of the buildings of the mental hospital. As time progressed, Dr. Anita was diagnosed with cancer. But this big hurdle did not slow her down. And in spite of the depression this was causing to her and her near and dear ones, she engrossed herself into her vision with more energy and dedication.
She was a mother to all who approached Muktangan Mitra, let it be patients in OPD, day care, night care or those admitted for treatment. The doors were open for all and this was not limited to the individuals addicted to vices but their family members also. Her total dedication opened a new page in the life of thousands, but she succumbed to cancer on 10th February 1997.
Apart from counselling and providing medication, Dr. Anita introduced meditation, art, literature, music, yoga etc. as therapeutic activities at Muktangan De-addiction Centre. Her untimely death was a big blow to the mission she had undertaken but it was in dedication to her unique personality that the torch was carried forward by her family members, colleagues and others who had dared to visualize this dream along with her. Dr. Anita Awachat left a legacy which continues more vigorously and Muktangan Mitra is not just a reality but a symbol of achievement, honour and pride.

MUKTNGAN REHAN CENTER, PUNE
2 oct 2010
The saga of Muktangan Mitra started in line with Dr. Anita Awachat’s ideology. An adolescent child of one of the family friends got addicted to Brown Sugar and this became the turning point for Dr. Anita Awachat. Not only did she help her friend and her son to fight and come out of the grips of the vice, she took eradication of similar kind of vices as her life-long mission.
Muktangan De-addiction Centre and her vision became a reality and it was started as Anand Ward, within one of the buildings of the mental hospital. As time progressed, Dr. Anita was diagnosed with cancer. But this big hurdle did not slow her down. And in spite of the depression this was causing to her and her near and dear ones, she engrossed herself into her vision with more energy and dedication.
She was a mother to all who approached Muktangan Mitra, let it be patients in OPD, day care, night care or those admitted for treatment. The doors were open for all and this was not limited to the individuals addicted to vices but their family members also. Her total dedication opened a new page in the life of thousands, but she succumbed to cancer on 10th February 1997.
Apart from counselling and providing medication, Dr. Anita introduced meditation, art, literature, music, yoga etc. as therapeutic activities at Muktangan De-addiction Centre. Her untimely death was a big blow to the mission she had undertaken but it was in dedication to her unique personality that the torch was carried forward by her family members, colleagues and others who had dared to visualize this dream along with her. Dr. Anita Awachat left a legacy which continues more vigorously and Muktangan Mitra is not just a reality but a symbol of achievement, honour and pride.

ANUTAI WAGH + GRAM MANGAL ( CHILD EDUCATION )
4 sept 2010
In 1982 renowned educationists Padmashree Anutai Wagh and Prof. Ramesh Panse established GramMangal (GM) at Dabhon, Taluka Dahanu, District Thane, Maharashtra - a backward area with predominantly tribal population.
GM has its roots in the pioneering efforts of Gijubhai Badheka, Sarladevi Sarabhai, Tarabai Modak and others who started in 1926 the first national movement for spreading Early Childhood Education on scientific basis. The thrust of the movement was to provide joyful learning experience to children. The primary focus was on serving the Tribal and Rural India. A number of International and National Agencies and a large number of schools have, by now availed of GM expertise in the form of consultancy projects.
In the tribal belt, GM commenced its developmental activities with roads, bridges, electrification, water and employment generation for tribal youths. Having won confidence of the target population, for all further work the focus was on providing quality education to those deprived of it

Kelkar Museum, Pune
28 August 2010
The Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum is the one-man collection of Padmashree Late Dr. D.G. Kelkar (1896 -1990). 'Kaka', as Dr. Kelkar was affectionately known, dedicated his collection to the memory of his only son `Raja’ who died an untimely tragic death.
It is a collection about 21,000 priceless artifacts which mirror the everyday life of India. A testimony to man’s creative spirit - the spirit that breaths beauty into the banal, and puts romance into the mundane.
Kaka was a man obsessed with art. A man who, for over sixty years, traveled extensively across the country - to obscure villages and tribal settlements, to grand temples and humble huts, to forgotten attics and folk fares - collecting .. always collecting. A connoisseur who had the uncanny vision to spot the exotic in the everyday..... to uncover diamonds under the dust

21 August 2010
To understand and appreciate NAB it becomes necessary to view the organization’s accomplishments since January 19th, 1952, the birth of NAB till date. Since its inception, every year has been a forward leap in the organization’s reach and welfare provisions made for the blind.
19th January, 1952, saw the flowering of the seed sown by Mangulal Jethalal Shah way back in 1947. The then Premier of the Bombay Province Mr. B. G. Kher moved a resolution in the first all India conference of the Blind held in Bombay, which lead to the establishment of The national Association for the Blind, India.
Six weeks later, with an executive council of just 39 members and support from Governors of different States, Barrister R. M. Alpaiwalla was appointed as the first President of NAB. Then began the release of the bubbling energy and determined mission of all its members into establishing NAB as an icon of unlimited services for the blind.
