Honoring Mr. Vitthal Keshav Veer – “ the Jewel of Society Award 2025”. The Priyadarshani Group of Schools proudly confers the Jewel of Society Award 2025 upon Mr. Vitthal Keshav Veer in recognition of his remarkable contributions to environmental preservation and his unwavering dedication to the restoration and protection of the sacred Indrayani River. For decades, Mr. Veer has been more than an environmentalist—he has been a guardian of nature, a community mobilizer, and an inspiring example of how one individual’s conviction can ignite collective action. The Indrayani River, revered not only for its ecological significance but also for its spiritual and cultural heritage, had been facing alarming degradation due to pollution, encroachment, and neglect. Recognizing the urgency of the crisis, Mr. Veer committed himself to its revival, dedicating his time, energy, and personal resources to bring the river back to life. His work has been grounded in three pillars—restoration, awareness, and sustainability. Through relentless on-ground efforts, he led river-cleaning drives, organized afforestation programs along the riverbanks, and implemented waste management initiatives that significantly reduced the inflow of pollutants. Understanding that true change requires community ownership, he engaged schools, local residents, and governing bodies in sustained awareness campaigns. His educational outreach inspired thousands—especially the youth—to become active stewards of their environment. Mr. Veer’s efforts have not only rejuvenated sections of the Indrayani River but have also rekindled a sense of cultural and spiritual pride in the community. The river now flows with renewed vitality, its waters cleaner, and its banks greener—an enduring testament to his vision and persistence. In honoring Mr. Vitthal Keshav Veer with the Jewel of Society Award 2025, the Priyadarshani Group of Schools celebrates his exceptional service and lifelong dedication. His journey reminds us that environmental preservation is not merely an obligation but a sacred duty—one that requires courage, patience, and love for both nature and humanity. May his legacy inspire generations to come, and may the Indrayani River continue to flow as a living symbol of hope, resilience, and harmony.
