Devadas had done this noble initiative twice with different attire. But due to the Covid 19 pandemic, he was not able to carry on the initiative for two years.

This time, during the auspicious Navaratri festivity, he has decided to collect Rs. 20,000s in seven days (September 29-October 5).

It is learned that he is on a mission to help two children from the same family suffering from kidney-related ailments and arrangement for the marriage of a girl from an economically backward family.
