NADIAD, MAR 3
Blending devotion with duty, the Chiripal Group has once again reaffirmed its commitment to community welfare by hosting its 31st Annual Annadan and Medical Seva Camp for pilgrims heading to the revered Ranchhodrai Temple during Holi–Phagani Poonam.
Organised at Devakinandan Vishram Griha in Sihunj village, Kheda district, the three-day initiative ran from February 28 to March 2, offering holistic support to thousands of devotees undertaking the spiritually significant foot pilgrimage to Dakor.

Every year, pilgrims walk long distances to seek blessings of Thakor Bhagwan Ranchhodrai. Recognising the physical toll of the journey, the Chiripal Group’s camp provides freshly prepared meals, safe drinking water, resting facilities, and free medical assistance — ensuring that faith is not hindered by fatigue.
A team of qualified doctors and healthcare volunteers remained stationed at the site to address dehydration, exhaustion and common ailments linked to prolonged walking. Foot-care support and essential medicines were also made available at no cost.
“Service to society is a fundamental value of Chiripal Group. Holi–Phagani Poonam holds deep spiritual significance for thousands of families across Gujarat. Through this camp, we aim to ease the journey for devotees by ensuring access to food and basic healthcare. Continuing this tradition year after year is both a responsibility and a privilege for us,” said Ronak Chiripal, Promoter of Chiripal Group.
CSR Beyond Corporate Mandates
Now in its fourth decade, the Dakor seva camp stands as one of the Group’s most enduring grassroots CSR initiatives. Employees, medical professionals and local volunteers come together annually, transforming corporate philosophy into compassionate action.

The initiative reflects the Group’s sustained focus on public welfare in regions where it operates — extending impact beyond industry into spiritual and social domains.
For many devotees, the camp is more than a service stop; it is a moment of reassurance — a place to rest, recharge and resume their sacred journey with renewed strength.
As thousands chant hymns en route to Dakor, Chiripal Group’s annadan and medical seva quietly underscore a powerful message: true prosperity lies in sharing.
