Daan Utsav 2018 – The Joy of Giving Week
About the Event
One of Mahatma Gandhi’s goals was to attain ‘Ram Rajya’ - to eradicate poverty. Thus, Daan Utsav – India’s Festival of Giving is observed on account of Gandhi Jayanti every year. The week-long event starts from 2 to 8 October holding the name the "Joy of Giving Week". Daan Utsav has been celebrated over the last decade by schools, colleges, NGO’s, and millions of others in the nation to cherish and partake in the joy of giving books, food, money, etc. to those in need.

The collected food materials will be distributed to the beneficiaries from 2 to 8 October 2018.
