Pune Engineer's Bee Conservation Efforts Recognized by PM Modi
In Pune, a man named Amit realized that people were killing bees, which is not good for the environment.
He started a company called Bee Basket to save bees instead.
His company helps bees by moving their hives safely and teaching people about them.
People liked his idea so much that even the Prime Minister of India noticed his work!
Now, the government wants to help him train more people to become "bee-friends" so they can protect bees across the state.
A mechanical engineer in Pune, Amit Godse, started Bee Basket to conserve bees after witnessing mass killings.
Bee Basket focuses on eco-friendly handling of bee hives and creating bee-friends.
Godse's work gained recognition, including a mention in PM Modi's 'Mann ki Baat'.
The Maharashtra government plans workshops to train bee rescuers.
Godse aims to establish a community of bee-friends across Maharashtra within two years.
