Services Preparatory Institute to get full-time director soon
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Services Preparatory Institute (SPI) is expected to get a new full-time director soon. The post was vacant since Nov 2022.
SPI authorities said on Tuesday that Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has finalised the name of a Pune-based retired colonel as the new director.
"MPSC recommended the name of a new director after following the laid down procedure. The general administration department is expected to make the formal appointment in the next one or two weeks," officials said.
SPI, under whose aegis Girls SPI at Nashik also functions, has shown stellar performance by placing a relatively higher number of cadets in govt defence institutions compared to many other Sainik schools.
SPI also witnessed the formation of a revamped governing council, with the appointment of retired senior officials from the Army, Navy, and Air Force along with the divisional commissioner of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
Lieutenant General (retd) Rajendra Ramrao Nimbhorkar is now the chairman of the governing council, whereas the divisional commissioner will be the ex-officio vice-chairman. Brigadier (retd) Hemant Mahajan, Rear Admiral (retd) Ashish Kulkarni, and Air Vice Marshal (retd) Nitin Vaidya are the members of the council, which will also have the director of Sainik Welfare, Pune, and SPI director as designated members.
Set up in 1977, SPI provides personalised coaching for UPSC (NDA) written entrance examination and interviews of the SSB, besides building physical and mental abilities of cadets. The girls' SPI at Nashik came up in 2023 and emerged as one of the most sought-after military schools.

VMC to deploy 200 contract swimmers for monsoon rescue operations
Vadodara: For the first time in its history, the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) will engage 200 swimmers on contract for monsoon rescue operations, following a proposal cleared by the standing committee on Friday. The initiative comes in the wake of last year's unprecedented floods and aims to strengthen the city's emergency response system. The swimmers will be deployed for three months starting in July and will function as rescue volunteers under the fire department. According to officials, the swimmers will be hired through a contractor rather than directly by the civic body. A Mehsana-based agency has been selected for the task, and VMC will pay Rs 95.58 lakh for providing the trained personnel. "This is the first time swimmers are being brought in through such a contractual arrangement," said Sheetal Mistry, chairman of the standing committee. "The administration had earlier considered hiring them directly, but we eventually agreed to engage them through an agency." The civic body has already undertaken significant work on the Vishwamitri river, stormwater drains, ponds, reservoirs, and recharge wells, but officials said they were not willing to take any risks during the upcoming monsoon. VMC typically employs skilled workers, including some fire department drivers, through agencies on a daily-wage basis. The same system will be used to engage the swimmers.
