|October 08, 2025
District Collector Jalaj Sharma, known for his environment-friendly initiatives, travelled to work on Monday morning in a pink e-rickshaw driven by a beneficiary of the state’s women empowerment scheme.
The gesture was part of his personal resolution to commute to the office once a month without using an official vehicle.
Sharma travelled from his residence to the District Collector's office in an e-rickshaw operated by Vaishnavi Umakant Sakhere, one of the women beneficiaries under the state government's Pink e-rickshaw scheme. The initiative aims to provide 1,000 pink e-rickshaws to women across Nashik through the District Women and Child Development Department.
