Students of Zilla Parishad primary school in Pune's Pabe village of Velhe taluka have a special reason to remember this year's Valentine's Day as 29-year-old Yuvraj Renuse, an ex-student, gifted two CCTVs to the primary school that runs Classes 1 to 7. Renuse, who works as a computer operator for government projects on a contract basis, also farms in his village.

With Renuse's noble gesture, this Zilla Parishad school became the first school in Velhe taluka to have CCTV facility.

Speaking to Hindustan Times, the former student of the Zilla Parishad school said, "For me, education is the top priority and this is a small gesture of giving back to the society as my parents overcame many struggles to get me educated. We all should take steps to ensure that Zilla Parishad schools also get the facilities available at private schools in cities."

Furthermore, he also said that his son was born on Valentine's Day two years ago.

"Installation of CCTV cameras at the school has become the new attraction for students who have not seen such technology. Though we have computers in classes for students, the CCTV camera facility will help to monitor the wards as they are told that the principal is watching their activities through these cameras. This warning is coming handy since the last two days after CCTVs were installed," Suresh Koli, principal of Zilla Parishad school, Pabe, said.

Pabe village is located in a hilly area is 75 kilometres away from Pune and faces road connectivity issues during the monsoon.
