Our Colleague social worker Seema Kanchan Kadam found on her the footpath. Out of the routine courtesy she stopped by & enquired with her. During the enquiry Seema learned that the old woman is from Kerala.
She had moved a few years back to Pune with her husband for bread & butter. Then her husband expired and her daughters too left her alone.

Mr. Nana Munde Age 66 years residing at Panvel, was very disturbed mentally because his favorite bullock cart was stolen. In the same disturbed phase of mind, he left his house a year ago to search his bullock cart. He was found by Kinara Director Adv. Priti Vaidya while she was returning from a meeting under Wakad Flyover. He was in a very bad condition. He was eating the food given to him by the people passing by. Ms. Priti Vaidya got down & enquired with him. Asked him, whether he would come to our old age home. He replied No. So, the volunteers of Kinara kept a watch on him for 3 days. Again after 3 days Ms. Priti Vaidya & caretakers of Kinara went to see him. At first Ms. Priti gained his confidence & then again asked him whether he would come to our old age home. This time Mr. Nana Munde happily said yes. Our team brought him to Kinara. With proper medical attention & hygienic food Nana Munde returned to normalcy within 15 days. During his counselling session he told us that he stays in Panvel, has agricultural land and own house. Learning this Priti Vaidya immediately informed Panvel police station about Nana Munde. Constable Sachin Jadhav found out his relatives. Police found Nana Munde’s son Meenanath Munde, who was searching his father for last entire year at Police station’s, Railway station’s Bus Stand, Morgues.

When he saw Nana Munde after a year at Kinara safe & healthy he literally started crying. He couldn’t stop himself from thanking Ms. Priti Vaidya and the entire Kinara Team.
