Celebrating Community Impact: Dr. Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan (DSNDP)Receives the 2024 Civic Pride Award for Outstanding Service

Niagara Falls, Ontario – In a moment of great recognition, Dr. Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari
Pratishthan (DSNDP), a non-profit organization, has been awarded the esteemed 2024 Civic Pride
Award for its remarkable contributions to community development. Presented by the Niagara Falls
Recreation Committee, the award highlights DSNDP’s extraordinary social work, reflecting the
transformative leadership of founders Dr. Shri Appasaheb Dharmadhikari and Dr. Shri Sachindada
Dharmadhikari.

The Civic Pride Award is bestowed annually to individuals and organizations that demonstrate an
unwavering commitment to improving the local community, enhancing the environment, and improving
the daily lives of Niagara Falls residents. It is one of nine special awards presented during the City’s
Volunteer Recognition Ceremony.

During the ceremony, Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati joined City Council members Mona Patel,
Victor Pietrangelo, and Mike Strange in commending DSNDP’s work. “These are the unsung
heroes who take pride and ownership in our community. Their actions demonstrate how
important the little things in life can be and how a difference can be made by an individual or
group” remarked the committee representative, endorsing DSNDP during the ceremony. A DSNDP
volunteer shared, “We are incredibly honored to receive this award, which reflects DSNDP’s
philanthropic efforts. This recognition will serve as profound inspiration and strengthen our
resolve in serving the society. The unwavering guidance of Dr. Shri Appasaheb Dharmadhikari
and Dr. Shri Sachindada Dharmadhikari has motivated us to prioritize the well-being of the
community as our core mission”.

Esteemed ministers Wayne Gates, MPP, and Tony Badinelli, Member of Parliament for Niagara
Falls, also expressed their gratitude, presenting the organization with certificates of appreciation.
Founded in Maharashtra, India, DSNDP honors the legacy of Dr. Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari, a
renowned social reformer. The organization’s impact has been far-reaching, with over 3.67 million trees
planted, 275 million pounds of waste eliminated, and 32 million pounds of waste removed from Indian
dams and rivers. Under the visionary guidance of its founders, DSNDP now operates in 23 countries,
inspiring more than 7 million followers worldwide. In Canada, DSNDP has mobilized over 500
volunteers, collected 12,150 pounds of waste, planted 300+ trees, and facilitated plasma donation drives
with 150+ donors in the last three years. The organization’s efforts have also extended to the United
States, spanning 19 states and 107 cities, where 40,590 pounds of waste were collected and 20,000+
trees were planted, all resulting in significant cost savings for local and state governments.
With this recognition, DSNDP remains committed to expanding its reach across North America, guided
by its motto, “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – The World is One Family”.

    My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct
    this issue. If you have any recommendations,
    please share. Thanks!

  2. You really make it appear so easy with your presentation however I to find this matter to be
    actually something that I believe I would never understand.
    It kind of feels too complex and very large for me.
    I am taking a look ahead in your next submit, I’ll try to get the cling of it!web page; Wilda,

    just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly
    enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.

  4. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog
    that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some
    time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like
    this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly
    enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  5. I’ve been surfing on-line more than three hours lately, but
    I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours.
    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet
    can be much more useful than ever before.
