At Chanakya Mandal Pariwar, we believe that education is not limited to classrooms alone. True learning also comes from experiencing social responsibility and public service in real life. In line with this philosophy, our students actively participate every year in crowd management during the Ganesh Festival in Pune & Mumbai — one of the largest and most vibrant celebrations in the country.

This tradition has become an integral part of our activities, where students join hands with the Pune & Mumbai Police and civic authorities to ensure the smooth conduct of the festivities. Even in situations of heavy rain, long hours, or massive gatherings, our students display remarkable dedication, patience, and discipline.

Their role goes beyond simply assisting with movement of people; it involves real-time crowd control, guiding devotees, communicating effectively with the public, and managing sensitive situations with maturity. For many students, this becomes their first hands-on experience of public administration, civic responsibility, and teamwork under pressure.

Many of our students who participated in this activity and later joined public services have shared that these experiences helped them effectively manage large gatherings such as the Kumbh Mela, religious yatras, and other major public events.
