In a heartwarming initiative, an MSRTC bus in Maharashtra’s Beed has become a vibrant mobile classroom! In addition to spearheading the move, driver Siraj Pathan and conductor Vaishali Mule have invested ₹35,000 to further enhance the bus’s educational interiors.
Their efforts have successfully attracted more students, increasing ridership from 200 to 290, and promoting education, particularly among girls, in the community.
