Upon arrival, Jagtap was warmly welcomed by the staff and residents of Aai Vruddhashram. The residents were visibly touched by the gesture, as Jagtap and his team brought nutritious food items, including grains, vegetables, fruits, and ready-to-eat meals. This donation was carefully planned to cater to the specific dietary needs of elderly individuals, ensuring that they receive both nutritious and comforting meals.

Beyond the act of donating food, Jagtap’s team also dedicated time to speak with the residents, listening to their stories, sharing laughter, and engaging in light activities. Many of the elderly residents expressed their gratitude, sharing that the company and conversation provided them with a much-needed connection to the outside world.
