Shri.Mahendrabhai Mehta,a most familiar face for anyone associated with health,nutrition or disaster relief related activities in navsari passed away on 5/10/15.
On behalf of district administration,i take note of his untimely departure with great pain as well as a stock of good memories.
Shri.Mehta was as positive and bubbly a person one could ever meet and simple in his ways.He innovated a project for improving the immunity and digestive powers of anganwadi going children in navsari which was christened 'balsudha' and is till date successfully helping hundreds of little children battle against malnourishment and ill health.
He has across the years as coordinator of Palanpur Banaskantha Jain Trust helped district administration in interventions such as free uniforms for anganwadi toddlers as well as disaster relief programs.
I still remember our conversations during the nepal disaster when he passionately said that he didnt want to just send relief material,but he wanted to go there, set up tents with his team and serve hot food to the affected persons.Such was his largeness of heart and passion for his cause.
He was also unassuming and did not believe in highlighting himself,but only his work.Small activities such as setting up chaas counters for general public during the hot and sveltering summer months and personally making all the passers by drink chaas so as to avoid dehydration speak a lot for his work style and dedication.
He has cooperated with administration in so many ways to serve the people that it is difficult for me to list them down.But,on behalf of the citizens of navsari i am extremely thankful for his immense contributions.
It is indeed shocking for us that Mehtaji is no more but we will try to keep his flag flying by continuing his activities without a break with the spirit same and enthusiasm that he commanded.
