Along with funding of infrastructure for several schools and educational institutes, Sachin has also been supporting public services such as police departments.
He sanctioned Rs 15lakh funds for the development of infrastructure and water supply equipment for police training institute in Tasgaon city of Sangli district, Maharashtra.

Funding of the schools and educational institute projects include construction of school buildings, compound walls, libraries, laboratories, and common rooms for girls, toilets, waiting areas, purchase of computers etc.
Among these projects, a few include construction of school for mentally challenged in Ahmednagar, multimedia classroom for deaf children in Kerala and hostel for Tai speaking students in the Karbi Anglong district of Assam.

This funding will enable the student community in Drugmulla to get education which will help them over towards development. It will also help the kids to stay away from turmoil, and concentrate on their studies in a peaceful environment so that they can excel in their fields and become good citizens in the future.
