Pritamkumar Lonare

I am Pritamkumar Lonare, a development professional with over 14+ years of experience in operations, program management, and large-scale field implementation across government and non-government sectors.

Currently, I am working as a District Program Officer at Bharatiya Jain Sanghatana, where I lead district-level execution of water conservation and sustainability programs. My role involves stakeholder management with government authorities, program planning, monitoring field operations, and ensuring effective utilization of resources on ground.

Previously, I have worked with organizations like Industree Foundation and Yuva Mitra, where I managed multi-village and district-level projects including watershed development, agriculture interventions, and livelihood programs. I have led teams of 40+ members, coordinated with government departments, and successfully implemented projects across Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Arunachal Pradesh.

My core strengths include

Leadership & Team Management

Government Liaisoning & Stakeholder Management

Field Operations & Program Execution

Sustainability & Water Resource Management

Data Monitoring, Reporting & Compliance

I have also been recognized with the Arjuna Award for Outstanding Performance for my work in field implementation and was promoted multiple times based on performance.

With my strong field experience, leadership ability, and strategic thinking, I am well-prepared to take on the City CEO role, where I can drive end-to-end city operations, build strong partnerships, and deliver impactful, scalable solutions.
