The chief minister highlighted that while many organisations host fairs during the festive season, each with its own purpose, JIASOWA has consistently focused on social welfare. He commended the association’s commitment to supporting underprivileged communities and expressed hope that its efforts will continue to benefit society.

He extended best wishes to all members and office-bearers of JIASOWA for their dedication and service, congratulating them on successfully organising the grand five-day Diwali Mela 2025.
