Morabadi Ground to Host JESOWA Diwali Mela in Ranchi

The Jharkhand IAS Officers Wives Association (JESOWA) has announced a five-day Diwali mela at Morabadi Ground in Ranchi, scheduled from October 29 to November 2.

A JESOWA delegation met Chief Minister Hemant Soren and MLA Kalpana Soren on Tuesday to discuss the event. The delegation personally invited the Chief Minister and his family to attend the mela.

The programme seeks to nurture art, culture, handicrafts and local talent. Several activities are planned across the five days to support these objectives.

Visitors will also benefit from having diverse shopping options available at one site.

During the meeting, the delegation informed the Chief Minister about the social welfare programmes and activities the organisation runs in the state. It also briefed him on the preparations and framework of the Diwali mela and urged him to attend.
