As Deepawali signifies the festival of lights, through this little initiative, we intend to bring light into the lives of these children and provide them a platform where they can enjoy to the fullest and forget all the burdens on their tender shoulders. Diwali also signifies the end of Evil and Rise of Goodness.

She also spoke on COVID 19 protocols to be strictly followed for the safety of the children as well as their dear ones. She also provided light refreshment to the children and gifted them some clothes.

During the celebration, lamps were lit by the children, who also recited a prayer asking for God's blessing and support.

Altogether 100 children participated in the programme at Bara Bazaar Slum and Rangmen Centres of SPARK maintaining proper distancing.
