On 27th August, the MCA Apex Council approved the establishment of the Ajinkya Rahane Scholarship Fund, in recognition of Ajinkya Rahane's distinguished journey from Mumbai's maidans to captaining India's Test team.
Backed by a generous contribution from Hon'ble Sharad Pawar Saheb, the Fund will support grassroots cricketers and the development of Maidan cricket across the city.
"Ajinkya Rahane's journey from Mumbai's grassroots cricket to becoming captain of the Indian team is an inspiration for every young cricketer. We hope this initiative will provide young players with greater opportunities to pursue their dreams and strengthen the proud cricketing culture of Mumbai," said MCA President Ajinkya Naik.

There’s an influencer called Nitesh Shetty, from Mumbai. Man, his monologues around middle-class life in a society is simply out of this world. He comes up with extraordinary content every single time. Unreal talent 👏🏻
Congratulations on a remarkable career, @ajinkyarahane88.
The first time we batted together for Mumbai, I saw someone who never chased moments. They came to you because you were willing to do the hard yards for the team. That same quality defined your finest hour in Australia. You showed that composure isn't the opposite of aggression. It is often what gives a team the confidence to be fearless.
Congratulations on a wonderful career! Wishing you and your family all the very best.
A tough, loyal cricketer, a person of great character and fairness and an extraordinary team player moves on in life. Ajinkya Rahane will be remembered for many things but more than for anything else, his outstanding leadership that produced India's greatest away series win in Australia in 2021. Indian cricket must continue to use Rahane because he has the right qualities. Well played Rahane, always enjoyed the way you played and what you brought to the game.
Jinks, congratulations on a great career, buddy. You’ve done wonders for Indian cricket, and you can be very proud of your journey. The safest pair of hands in the slips and my favourite Test batting partner. Wishing you well always. God bless. 🤝🇮🇳
@ajinkyarahane88
An illustrious career comes to an end 🇮🇳
Thank you @ajinkyarahane88 for your immense contribution to Indian cricket and all the memories that will be cherished forever
Wishing you the very best in your next chapter

Potential World Record here by @Airbus and @Qantas. 24hrs 23mins in the air. Final distance to be confirmed. Flew over Derby, UK (where the A350s engines are made) and a little victory lap above Toulouse.
He's Tukaram Mundhe, a 2005-batch IAS from Maharashtra.
Over the last few weeks, you might have heard his name. That is because he was recently appointed Commissioner of State’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since taking charge, the FDA has been on an absolute warpath, raiding illegal, fake, synthetic, and adulterated products. From synthetic milk networks and adulterated paneer to illegal gutkha and unhygienic eateries, nothing has escaped his radar.
Mundhe has made it clear that even the most famous names will not get a free pass. His department shocked Mumbai by suspending the food licenses of iconic establishments, such as the 73-year-old Marine Drive ice cream parlor K. Rustom & Co., alongside famous eateries like Shalimar Hospitality, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, and Rahmaniya Restaurant, after surprise inspections uncovered severe hygiene violations, including live pests and expired ingredients.
Such is the fear of his crackdowns that, just two days ago, dairy farmers were caught on video spilling hundreds of liters of synthetic milk after rumors of an impending FDA raid spread.
This is his 25th transfer in a 21-year career, a testament to his refusal to bend to political pressure. It makes you wonder: if just one IAS officer can bring about so much change, where would our country be if every bureaucrat were as uncompromising and proactive as him?
From an opponent to a friend over the years. It’s been a pleasure watching you bat and compete against you over so many years but more than that I value our friendship and shared perspectives on the game and beyond. I continue to cherish every time we speak or meet. Wishing you nothing but the best always brother. You’ve done your bit, you deserve to enjoy all of it now and put your feet up. Well done mate, life’s only just begun. ❤️ #KaneWilliamson
