NCC students of RK Talreja College in Ulhasnagar value a hero’s worth. They scrubbed clean around 22 statues of national heroes and personalities in the area from October 18-23 under the guidance of Lieutenant Bharat Badgujar, head of the NCC boys unit at the RKT college.

Talking to mid-day about his brainchild, Badgujar said, “I had heard PM Modi talk on the issue and wondered if we could imitate it. I spoke to our college Principal Lalithambal Natarajan and Professor Prakash Sachdev after discussing the idea with NCC students and we started the drive. We scrubbed clean sculptures of Pandit Jawarharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Lal Bahadur Shashtri, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, Swami Vivekanand and many more in and around Ulhasnagar area.”
Saying it was a learning experience, Vinay Yadav, a student from TYB Com of the college said, “Some of the statues were in a really bad condition. But we managed to clean them by climbing up on ladders. We also put garlands around the statues.”
Another student, Pratik Singh, said, “We’ave decided to continue this exercise on the last weekend of every month.”
Around 40 NCC students divided themselves into groups of 10 each for this campaign.
