Daan Utsav: A Festival of Philanthropy

Daan Utsav was formerly known as The Joy of Giving Week. The Joy of Giving Week (JGW) is a "festival of philanthropy" that aims to become a part of the Indian ethos. The week is celebrated every year, covering Gandhi Jayanti, by engaging people through "acts of giving"—money, time, resources, and skills. This engagement spans across the corporate, NGO, and government sectors, schools, colleges, and the general public.

Originally called "India Giving Week," the name "Joy of Giving Week" emerged from a set of choices provided by the ad agency, Euro RSCG India, which offered PR, creative, and media services for the 'Joy of Giving Week'. This initiative was supported by many NGOs and corporates. Corporates participate in this venture to fulfill their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) function.
