JAMMU: Spreading love and light on the occasion of Diwali, Kuwarani Dr Ritu Singh inaugurated Mission MITHAAS, a noble initiative launched in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Jammu Bahu & Tawi, Gracious Givers, and the Maharaja Hari Singh Foundation.
Mission MITHAAS—founded by Dr Ritu Singh, Social Reformer Dr Navneet Kaur, and Dr Nidhi Gupta—aims to eradicate hunger and bridge the gap between privileged and underprivileged girls through sustainable programs in nutrition, education, and healthcare.
This Diwali, the initiative seeks to share the joy and sweetness of the festival with underprivileged and flood-affected families and children in slum areas. Through the collective efforts of Gracious Givers Annakshetra, Rotary Club Jammu Bahu & Tawi, and the Maharaja Hari Singh Foundation, festive sweets (mithai) and cheer will be distributed to over 500 families, ensuring the Festival of Lights shines for everyone.
Dr Ritu Singh said that such initiatives remind us that true celebrations lie in sharing and uplifting those in need. She urged individuals, institutions, and organisations to contribute toward building a compassionate and inclusive community.
“Small acts of kindness can bring about transformative change. Together, we can ensure every girl grows up with dignity, confidence, and opportunities to thrive,” she added.
Rtn. Dr Nidhi Gupta, co-founder of Mission MITHAAS, said,
“In the true spirit of Diwali, which symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, we want to bring a moment of sweetness and light into the lives of those who need it most.”
Social Reformer Rtn. Dr Navneet Kaur, President of Rotary Club Jammu Bahu, added,
“We believe that a simple box of sweets can carry a powerful message of care and community. Mission MITHAAS is our commitment to sharing the festival’s happiness with those less fortunate.”
Mission MITHAAS represents a significant step toward community welfare and aligns with the broader goals of Rotary—to serve humanity and promote goodwill across communities.
