Visit of BARTI Director General Sunil Ware Sir to Student Helping Hands Office
About a month ago, I had told Sir, “You must come and see how the organization actually works.” Yesterday, Sir came in person. His father had recently passed away, and even the tenth-day rituals were not yet over… still, keeping his word, he made time to come. This sense of commitment and awareness of human values touched me deeply.
He spent a full two hours at the office. I have known him for the last two years. I have also criticized his work and written about it harshly; yet, he never showed bitterness, anger, or resentment. On the contrary, whenever we met, he encouraged me with words like, “Keep doing your work, it’s good work,” and maintained a healthy dialogue. This generosity and distinctiveness of his always stands out to me.
He guided us on many topics such as the future course of the organization’s work, lessons to be learned from experiences abroad, ways of securing support for social initiatives, and the new education policy.
Recently, he has been selected to the state government’s committee for preparing the “Developed Maharashtra 2047” vision document, and he also shared insights related to that.
Though I have often written about his working style in BARTI, he never expressed displeasure, nor asked why I wrote so. Instead, he maintained cordiality and contributed with the spirit of doing what is good for the institution.
His cheerful, humble nature, social commitment, and the time he gave us are truly inspiring.
Heartfelt thanks to him on behalf of Student Helping Hands.
