Hi Aishu,
Cost is always a constraint. You can take a nominal contribution of Rs. 25/50/100 depending upon the employee strength and capability. Also, you can pull in some from management. We celebrated a wonderful foundation day with 10000 (number of employees were around 50). We arranged a collage competition, best-dressed male/female, and provided snacks and refreshments. You can also organize a talent hunt, fish pond, rangoli competition, etc., which will cost you less. Giving small tokens like mugs as prizes is a great idea.
For other branches, you can arrange a surprise cake from Monginis or the local cake shops. I am sure you can organize a low-cost Diwali celebration if the spirits are high.

All the Best, Happy Diwali.

Arrange a Multi-Cuisine Get-Together cum Lunch and inform all employees to bring their lunch boxes to share with all other employees. Keep prizes for the best food, best dressed, and best-mannered employees by a voting system, and publicly honor the first two winners by gifting them a box of toffees or sweets (if the same is gifted by some of your clients). Announce that the top management will also participate in this celebration. Inspire your CEO to give a lecture on the adverse effects of adulterated junk food on people's health. Convince your employees of how much the management is concerned about their health. Also, advocate the benefits of such gatherings as they increase love, understanding among employees, and promote company culture. Decorate the company hall with a few candles and balloons. I believe this will help minimize the cost of Diwali celebrations in your office.

Hi,
Just go for Diwali mela where you have to arrange for the space. You have to coordinate with some dealers to fix the counters, etc. Simple, add some games and chat stalls. People will love it, trust me.

Dear Aishu,
My friends have already given you a lot of suggestions in this post. Please also consider the branch employees for Diwali celebration. We will organize lots of puzzle games through email. Each early bird with the correct answer will receive prizes/gifts through the local branch.

Hi,
You may go ahead and arrange for a "Tambola" game. It will cost less as you can purchase Tambola tickets from markets for just Rs 65 at least. Then, you can give items like mugs, photo frames. Additionally, you can arrange for one lucky draw and give away a prize of any utility item for approximately Rs 450-500. Bay decoration competition, Rangoli, and ethnic dress codes are other ideas to consider.
