Gandhi Jayanti (India)
DaanUstav
DaanUtsav
(earlier called the Joy of Giving Week) is
India's "festival of giving. Launched
in 2009, the festival is celebrated every
year, in the week including Gandhi Jayanti,
i.e., October 2-8, and brings together Indians
from all walks of life, to celebrate "giving".
No
one owns DaanUtsav. It is designed as a festival
of giving, and like Diwali or Dussera, the
plan is for it to eventually have no owners!
However, in the initial formative years, to
give it a sense of shape, a group of core
volunteers manages the DaanUtsav campaign,
defines guidelines for participation and evangelises
the effort.
