Maharashtra Students Create Handmade and Eco-Friendly Rakhis Honoring Armed Forces
In Maharashtra, students are honoring armed forces through creative Raksha Bandhan initiatives. In Jalgaon, girl students from Indira Gandhi School have continued a 32-year tradition of making and sending 1,500 handmade tricolour rakhis to border soldiers, funded by their own money. Meanwhile, around 400 students in Nagpur crafted a 75-foot eco-friendly rakhi from waste materials, combining patriotism with environmental awareness. Both projects emphasize gratitude towards soldiers and community involvement in celebrating national pride.
