COMMON CELEBRATIONS AND IMPORTANT DAYS :
“If you can’t celebrate your success, appreciate your failure since life is all about celebration and appreciation”- M. F. Moonzajer
Community Celebrations is part and parcel of the Community Development Programmes. Important Days are remembered and celebrated in the Community level with public participation. These celebrations are occasions to create awareness on specific themes, increase the leadership and managerial skills of the Members of the Groups and promote the culture of the Community to the next generation. Hence, DISA organizes and facilitates many celebrations of important days in the Community, under the leadership and monitoring of the Group Leaders and DISA Staff. The members of the SHGS, Women Associations, Farmers Clubs, Saloni Sangams and other Village people attended the celebrations. There are public meetings, cultural programmes, sharing of information through classes, Focus Group Discussions, distribution of learning and reading materials, Rallies with slogans and posters etc. Sometimes Themes of two or three Special Days have been combined for the celebrations. DISA regularly organized the following celebrations and observed significant days in the selected Villages with great Community participation:
