Popatrao Pawar shows how a good leader can make a difference
While India is experiencing a horrific second wave of the
covid pandemic leaving several lakhs of people dead and millions infected,
Hiware Bazar in
Maharashtra’s Ahmednagar district has become covid free. This is all thanks to the Padma Shri Popatrao Pawar, who has been the Up-Sarpanch of the village since 1990.
Impressed by Pawar’s model of slaying the virus, the Collector and Special Executive Officer (
SEO) of Ahmednagar district called him to guide around 1,300 village heads on how to become covid-free in their respective villages.
