Ankleshwar, Bharuch district, Gujarat: Sunil Nadkarni, the new President of the Ankleshwar Rotary Club, announced the establishment of a Prosthetics and Orthotics Centre in partnership with the Udaipur-based Narayan Seva Sansthan in Ankleshwar to meet the region's emerging needs over time.

Miyawaki Forest cover: Sunil Nadkarni also disclosed another ambitious project of developing the Miyawaki forest region in the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation area of Ankleshwar.

Miyawaki forest is an afforestation technique involving the plantation of native tree species densely together, say three to five saplings per square meter in enriched soil. It is said that such a pattern of growing trees creates competition and thereby forces the trees to grow up to 10 times faster than in the usual conventional plantation methods.
