CEHRO India aims to support all its children from the first day of the school to the first day of the college. From Munirka Village’s government school for years, only less than 10% of the children passing 12th go on to attend a regular college. So many of them also drop out before completing 12th. In the given scenario no conversation is possible around the quality of higher education or child’s interest in a particular field. We want to change the scenario hence we support the child from first day s/he enters school to the first day s/he enters college. All this is possible when we receive support from a lot of people.

The joy of Giving Week is a perfect opportunity for you to say that you care. Daan Utsav is a festival which is not associated with us or with any other NGO. It is like any other festival successful when we celebrate it together. Let us spread goodness by giving.

What is Daan Utsav?

DaanUtsav, earlier called Joy of Giving Week (JGW), is India’s very own festival of giving. It aims to spread love, joy, and happiness among those who are lesser fortunate than us, and for each one of us to experience the joy in giving. It is like our own Diwali or Id, with a key feature that it celebrates “giving”. People celebrate this festival in various ways. Some people donate money, some their time, some materials, and some just pure love. DaanUtsav is celebrated for a week starting Gandhi Jayanti (Oct 2-8) every year and was launched in 2009.

DaanUtsav is a festival, much like Diwali, Id or Christmas- but not linked to any religion. It is not an NGO or organization and is not owned or controlled by anyone. A group of 100+ volunteers and champions across India promote the festival and millions participate! While it raises crores of rupees and millions of volunteer hours, what matters is the number of people whose hearts were touched, and who personally experienced the true joy there is in giving.
