About the Custompoint wellfare association It makes me feel proud for a introductory note. we very excited to express that "A seed once sown has now emerged into a Tree". Time flown with Good & Sad days but we stood strong & honored that our organization will be completing 31 years of successful operation, with complete credit to Mr. K. Pradeep Joshi - Pioneer and Chief Promoter along with other members of this organization without whom we could never have called it a success.

'Custom Point Welfare Society' established on 14th August 1981.

Mr. K. Pradeep Joshi's initiative of celebrating August 15, in unique way unlike others is strongly supported by Mr. K. Chandrakant Nagvekar who always stood by in the journey of over 3 decades. Mr. K. Pradeep Joshi along with Mr. K. Sunil Pawar, Mr. Navinchandra Bandiwadekar, Mr. Praveen Dalvi, Mr. Chandu Bhatkar and other members fulfilled their promises of serving even this organisation to their best as the years passed by.

We started this concept of "Cycle Race" in Mumbai which formerly known as City Of Mill Workers".  Mill worker's children always dreamed of such races as they had no platform to perform, it was mainly started for such children to boost their enthusiasm in society& gain respect which they deserve.

Our activity got appreciated across state of Maharastra & people from all over the state started participating in the contest some have even reached State and National levels.

Mr. Nagvekar whose profession is to hiring of bicycles in this area was of great help during the contest.

With all honor we would like him to rein off the flag race. The racing contest honored Mr.Nagvekar name as 'Cycle Master'.

This cycle race event initially held on the eve of Independence Day in celebration of India being Independent. Formerly the cycle race begins at midnight of August 14th upto 4 a.m. As the number of contestants grew with female and children participants, the racing contest now held in the morning of August 15th.

As usual, The cycle race would take off from New Prabhadevi Road, Prabhadevi Temple which would cover Marathe Udyog Bhawan, Veer Sawarkar Marg, Sane Guruji Ground, Ravindra Natya Mandir Road, Kashinath Ghanekar Chowk and would conclude back to Prabhadevi, covering upto 2.2km. Usually, these kind of races are conducted to access speed of longer distance but we have kept it for  short distance which is not that easy to cover up owing to six turns by reducing the speed which is quite critical.

Till date we have distributed more than 31 bicycles to the winners and honored them as 'Cycle Masters' with their keen efforts participated at state and national levels. This year too we have taken pain and effort to turn it into a huge event & we will make it a big success. I wish you all the best.
