Out of the projects selected from Maharashtra, two are from Pune and one each from Kolhapur and Nagpur. Two projects by Janaprobodhini Navnagar Vidyalaya in Nigdi in the topics ‘water management’ and ‘health’ won accolades at the competition. A team of students consisting of Malhar Limbekar, Varun Kolhatkar and Tanmay Valhekar constituted a project in water management, while Shravani Limaye, Jay Aherkar and Shreya Gaikwad prepared an innovative project in health.
