ANO chief appeals Gadchiroli students to aim for development

Nagpur: State Anti-Naxal Operation (ANO) unit chief Sharad Shelar recently spoke to the students of Gadchiroli district and motivated them to aspire for higher posts in government and non-government sectors by attaining higher education and focusing on their careers. Shelar addressed the students at the premises of the Unconventional Operations Training Centre (UOTC) at Suraburdi.
Around 82 students from remote corners of Gadchiroli district had come to Suraburdi, in the outskirts of Nagpur city during their Maharashtra tour. The tour also included Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Aurangabad and Shegaon among other places. The students also visited Deekshabhoomi and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport.

The latest tour was the 21st one organized by the state government through Gadchiroli police to expose the students to the development and modernization of Maharashtra.

Shelar also advised the students to avoid being misled by the Maoist, who with a failed ideology could not stand the test of time anywhere in the world.

“Instead of following the misguided paths of the rebels, the students should focus on their own career and aim for better education. They need to help in developing their native district where violence has curtailed progress and compelled it to remain a backward region,” he said. “The Maoists ensure their children are well educated and settled but want to carry on violence at the expense of the tribal youth,’ he said.

The studentsalso shared their experience of seeing the development and progress of the state.
