PONDA: Devki Kashinath Gaude, a lonely senior citizen 65 years old woman from Nandan Keryem, Khandepar, realized that a Swayampurna Mitra can be a real angel to people like her. One could see her face glow as she was provided all the required assistance through Swayampoorna Mitra to get electricity in her house.
Devki Kashinath Gaude, the senior citizen, showed interest in going for Dev Darshan at Tirupati. She informed that she has been living alone in a house for the last 40 years after the death of her husband, as she does not have children. She receives financial assistance of Rs.2000 per month under Dayanand Social Security Scheme, with which she makes a living.
While interacting with the Swayampurna Mitra, she informed that she resides in her house during the daytime, and when the night falls, she goes to her brother-in-law’s house as there is no electricity connection. Accordingly, Swayampurna Mitra, Sudesh Gaude, taken aback by her plight, took full responsibility to ensure that she saw the light of the day.
He expedited and ensured that all the formalities were duly done by sending Shri Nitesh Naik, MTS from the panchayat, to fill out her form for getting NOC from Panchayat to obtain an electricity connection.
After receiving NOC from Panchayat and constant follow-up from Swayampurna Mitra with the concerned Offices, the connection was provided to Smt. Devki Kashinath Gaude on February 7, 2023. Assistant linemen Sanjay Gaude, Rupesh Gaude and Satyawan Satarkar also offered their full support to undertake the house’s wiring and facilitate her with electricity connection.
She was delighted to see the electricity connection at her house after 40 years, and the smile on her face spoke volumes.
