These woodworkers and contractors donated a day’s worth of labour free of cost to repair and refurbish furniture for 800 NGOs, beneficiary schools, hospitals and institutions for underprivileged children.
The Fevicol Champions Club (FCC), an initiative by Pidilite Industries, is a platform for woodworkers and their families to enhance skills and foster community engagement.

Beyond this, FCC conducts training workshops, self-development programs, medical camps, and cultural events such as cleanliness drives, tree plantations, and festivals like Vishwakarma Puja. It also supports families with activities like Baal Melas and scholarships, promoting holistic growth and community well-being.
Commenting on the occasion, a spokesperson from Pidilite Ind. said, “Shram Daan Divas exemplifies the incredible generosity and spirit of our wood-working com-munity. It is deeply inspiring to see thousands of woodworkers and contractors come together, dedicating their time and skills to create a positive impact in the lives of under-privileged children. At Fevicol, we are honored to support this initiative, which not only showcases the power of skill and dedication but also reinforces the importance of community-driven efforts in building a better tomorrow.”
