A major highlight was the launch of “Shuddh Swaad”, a homemade masala brand offering products prepared without onion and garlic. The brand has been developed by Ranchi-based entrepreneur Moushmi Banerjee.

Through the initiative, the club sought to support a local woman entrepreneur and encourage financial independence through homegrown businesses. The launch was presented as one of the club's empowerment projects, aimed at helping women develop entrepreneurial ventures and build sustainable livelihoods.

The concept of satvik spices, suitable for people seeking onion-free and garlic-free food options, received an encouraging response from guests and dignitaries. The initiative also highlighted the potential of small, home-based enterprises to create economic opportunities for women.

The club expressed gratitude to Shree TVS, Hawai Nagar, Hatia, for sponsoring and supporting its social projects. Special appreciation was extended to Avinash Seth and Pratik for their contribution and continued encouragement.

The programme concluded with a vote of thanks, bringing the evening's celebrations to a close.

Through “Dandiya Raas For A Cause”, the Inner Wheel Club of Ranchi South sought to demonstrate how cultural celebrations can also provide a platform for community welfare, support for local entrepreneurs and initiatives promoting women's economic empowerment.
