Hi my name is Sumit Khurana and I am Level 7 Local Guide. Recently we celebrated Daan Utsav like other festivals in Chandigarh with more than 20+ NGO’s .
About Daan Utsav - An 11 year old festival of giving which aims to turn philanthropy into a mass movement, has been off to an enthusiastic start in city beautiful Chandigarh.
So this year we hosted two two events Seva Mela 1 and Seva Mela 2.0 at two different locations. Here are the some glimpses of both events :
First mela was organized at famous Elante Mall and Second Mela was organised at CIty Centre DLF Mall situated in IT park, Chandigarh.
The purpose of these seva mela was to support the local NGO’s and Local Artists.
Here is the list of participating NGO’s :
-
Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Sewa Society ( They organized free heath Checkup Camp)
-
Aashi Haryana (Promoted hand Made products from local house wives)
-
Sohana Hospital ( offered free health tests like Blood, Sugar)
-
Aashray NGO ( We tried to raise funds by helping them in selling hand made painting)
-
