The event, held on Saturday, featured an all-ladies troupe from Mumbai performing in support of the cause.
“This is our first public fundraiser in decades,” stated Meena Dadha, Founder and Managing Trustee of Mukti. “The funds raised will enable us to conduct more job fairs for persons with disabilities and support many from underserved communities.”

Pradeep Kumar Panja, Chairman of Karnataka Bank, emphasized the importance of societal engagement beyond financial contributions, encouraging attendees to understand the lived experiences of beneficiaries.
