Marking the spirit of Diwali with compassion and community service, the Chamber of Commerce, Rajnandgaon, celebrated the Festival of Lights by reaching out to underprivileged children living in Lakhouli Begapara, Atal Awas, and the slum area under the overbridge. Led by President Kamlesh Baid, the members of the Chamber distributed sweets and festive treats among children and shared moments of joy and togetherness.

District General Secretary Arun Dulani said that two months before Diwali, the Chamber had organized a rally promoting the slogan “Vocal for Local — Adopt Swadeshi”. The campaign has shown remarkable impact this festive season, as local products are witnessing unexpectedly high demand in the markets.

Continuing the spirit of giving, the Chamber distributed over 200 packets of sweets, along with biscuits, cakes, and chocolates, to both children and elderly residents, turning the day into a memorable Diwali celebration for all.
