As part of these initiatives, Geetanjali Mehlwal and her team recently organised a health camp for police personnel from six police stations, followed by a free blood donation and health camp for the general public in the city. These initiatives reflect the organisation’s continued efforts towards community welfare and social service.
Continuing this series of initiatives, marking the auspicious occasion of the birthday of Hon.

The initiative brought together children from underserved communities for a memorable day filled with joy, laughter and the spirit of togetherness.
The celebration was centred on spreading happiness and ensuring that children from underserved backgrounds could experience the warmth and excitement of Diwali. With a series of games, fun-filled activities and entertainment, the event created a lively and welcoming atmosphere where children could participate, interact and make lasting festive memories.
Food, festive treats and gifts added to the excitement, making the occasion even more special for the young participants. The celebration reflected the true essence of Diwali, sharing happiness, nurturing hope and bringing smiles to those who deserve to experience the joy of the festival.
Sharing her thoughts on the initiative, Geetanjali Mehlwal, Maharashtra President, said, “Diwali is a festival that brings happiness, hope and togetherness.
