Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachhan, Shriya, Surya and Narayana Murthy.
What do you think all these people have in common? Yes you got it right... they are all associated with the nationwide initiative Joy of Giving Week and Sachin Tendulkar is its ambassador.
NIRMAAN Organization in association with the Students Union of BITS-Pilani is organizing JOY FEST from 26th of September to 3rd of October at Pilani campus. This fest is part of the nation wide initiative Joy of Giving Week. I hope, every one is very much familiar with the buzz these days, especially JOY OF GIVING WEEK and are equally eager to know what is going to happen at our very own campus. Well, this blog will clarify every question that has been nagging you. Joy of Giving week is an initiative by Give India wherein all socially active people come together to celebrate the joy of giving resources, money or time to people and experience double the happiness.
The events that we plan to take up during this week are as follows:
Dinner of JOY: Every day we see our mess workers serving us and helping us with a smile. Don’t you think they deserve to have it back? Yes they do, and that is why we have come up with an initiative called "Dinner of JOY". It is a grub for mess workers, chowkis, sweepers and security staff of BITS-Pilani. This is going to be held on 30th of September in VKB mess.
Vastra Samman: It is a nationwide initiative by GOONJ for collection of Old/New clothes, footwear, school material, toys and any monetary contributions. We have collaborated with Goonj in this initiative by accumulating used articles.
Wonders of Your 1 rupee: NIRMAAN is greatly indebted to you for your wonderful contribution to the Save One Rupee a Day scheme. We have witnessed its impact and the smiles it is creating in our respective projects. This week we would like to provide a platform for everyone to visit our projects and witness the joy of our beneficiaries.

BACHAO: It is an aggressive paper campaign for motivating people to prevent wastage of food water and electricity. The main motto is to bring awareness among the masses and accordingly, the notices will be put up near water coolers, messes, switch boards and in bogs. We won’t be wasting paper because we will be using papers that have been used only on one side that are generally wasted by shop owners.
Newspaper Collection: For raising funds this week, the Students Union has given us permissions to collect and sell old newspapers from the students and professors of BITS-Pilani.
A team from NIRMAAN and Students Union has been given the responsibility of coordinating the fest. We are all eagerly awaiting your involvement in these events in order to make them a grand success. How can you get involved????

"Sharing is caring". This is what our parents taught us when we were kids. We were taught to share our lunch and stationery at school with friends, toys with friends in the colony and our belongings with siblings at home. This basic etiquette was inculcated in us by our elders because they realized the importance of giving in life. As we grew up this feeling got buried with loads and loads of work. We failed to realize the importance of this gesture in life and in turn forgot to smile. It’s never too late. Just wake up and make the best use of this week to show how much u care for others. The greater the response, bigger will be the event. Do not let off this opportunity.
SHOW THAT U CARE AND SHARE!!!!!!!!!!
