NWWA, STATION LONAVLA
President NWWA, Station Lonavla
Dear friends
We care, we share and together we grow into a strong community. As I write this, I feel humbled and honoured to take over the duties of President NWWA, Station Lonavla.
At the outset I must appreciate the efforts of my predecessors, whose vision, foresight coupled with timeless efforts have made our Shivaji community strong and enriched the lives of our families.
Keeping NWWA principles in mind, I shall work diligently to create avenues for professional and personal growth. Together we shall endeavor to strengthen the bond between families, fostering a sense of community and solidarity.
I encourage each and every member of Shivaji family to come forward and share their ideas, thoughts and aspirations freely.
I look forward to embarking on the journey of service and compassion with all of you to make positive difference in the lives of Shivaji families.
Best Wishes to all
