Good morning everyone, Today, let’s take a moment to celebrate our beautiful state, Maharashtra! Maharashtra is a land of rich history, vibrant culture, and diverse natural beauty. From the buzzing city life of Mumbai, our state’s capital and the financial hub of India, to the ancient caves of Ajanta and Ellora, Maharashtra has something for everyone. Our state is also known for its brave Maratha warriors, especially the great king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who established the Maratha Empire and inspired people with his bravery and vision. His forts, like Raigad and Sinhagad, remind us of his legacy and courage. Maharashtra is blessed with natural beauty, from the Western Ghats, which are home to unique plants and animals, to the stunning beaches along the Konkan coast. Our state is also a major producer of crops like cotton, sugarcane, and fruits like mangoes, making it an important agricultural region. Let’s not forget the festivals! Ganesh Chaturthi, celebrated in every corner of Maharashtra, brings people together in joy and devotion. The state also takes pride in its classical dance and music, like Lavani, which showcases our cultural talent. As proud students of Maharashtra, let’s pledge to respect and preserve our heritage, protect our environment, and contribute to the growth of our beloved state. Thank you! Jai Maharashtra! |

On the left bank of the Ganga, where it emerges from the Himalayan foothills, there is a long stretch of heavy forest. There are villages on the fringe of the forest, inhabited by bamboo cutters and farmers, but there are few signs of commerce or pilgrimage. Hunters, however, have found the area an ideal hunting ground during the last seventy years, and as a result, the animals are not as numerous as they used to be. The trees, too, have been disappearing slowly; and, as the forest recedes, the animals lose their food and shelter and move further on into the foothills. Slowly, they are being denied the right to live
Only the elephants can cross the river. And two years ago, when a large area of the forest was cleared to make way for a refugee resettlement camp, a herd of elephants - finding their favourite food, the green shoots of the bamboo, in short supply - waded across the river. They crashed through the suburbs of Haridwar, knocked down a factory wall, pulled down several tin roofs, held up a train, and left a trail of devastation in their wake until they found a new home in a new forest which was still untouched. Here, they settled down to a new life but an unsettled, wary life. They did not know when men would appear again, with tractors,bulldozers and dynamite.
