City-based NGO HEARt Organisation will celebrate Daanothsava 2025 to mark the birth anniversary of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, on Thursday.
According to a release, the HEARt Organisation was launched with the objective to nurture and revive these essential qualities before they wither away at a time when human values and social harmony are noticeably declining in society. One of its initiatives is the annual program called Daanotsava or ''Festival of Giving,'' the release added.
It is held to commemorate the birth anniversary of Krishnaraja Wadiyar every year at different schools and this year's event will be conducted at Mysore International School.
''Students will voluntarily donate rice or essential groceries according to their capacity and the collected items will then be handed over to a recognized ashram in the presence of the students'', according to the organizers.
The initiative not only encourages children to share a portion of their resources with the less fortunate—such as orphans, the destitute, and the homeless—but also inspires them to lead a meaningful life, the organizers added.
