Actor Rekha's partially funded school in Kasarwadi gears up for inauguration

It was back in 2018 when the news of actor Rekha deciding to donate ₹3 crores for the construction of a civic school in Kasarwadi had first made the headlines. Two years down the line and the school has been built, gearing up for the inauguration. The veteran actor played a pivotal role in setting up the first English-medium school in Kasarwadi. Before this, the area only housed Marathi-medium schools which forced the local children to head to schools in Pimpri and nearby areas. The school has been built on land spanning across 2 acres.
