In the past 2-3 years, thanks to Girgaon locals working through  NGO Amhi Girgaonkar, about 24 schools in rural Maharashtra have been repaired and refurbished, and another 20 will undergo the transformation soon. The dilapidated schools have been transformed under guidelines put forth by the former Uddhav Thackeray government, under an initiative called Rang De Majhi Shala, taken ahead by the NGO. The NGO’s effort is financially backed by the Saraswat Bank chairman.
