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.

State Secretary Tarun Leharwani added that the Chamber also facilitated business activities by distributing loose change worth lakhs of rupees at Jain Baghicha, ensuring shopkeepers had sufficient currency to manage high Diwali sales. Members visited various markets to ensure smooth availability of coins across shops.

The Chamber members expressed that sharing joy with the poor and underprivileged brings them immense inner happiness, and seeing smiles on others’ faces is the true spirit of Diwali. They pledged to continue such humanitarian efforts in the future.

Those present on the occasion included Kamlesh Baid, Tarun Leharwani, Rajkumar Bafna, Deepak Navlakha, Vikki Bhatia, Jaykishan Sharma, Councillor Santosh Sahu, and Prakash Markandey.
