MUMBAI: BIG FM, one of the largest networks in the country, that has time and again raised the bar with its various purpose driven initiatives, recently culminated its highly recognized and appreciated initiative ‘Dilli Ke Dhaakad. Kehte Hain…Let’s Fight Corona Together’. The campaign, whose aim was to eliminate fear and spread positivity amongst people of Delhi NCR to fight the on-going pandemic, culminated with a week long activity felicitating around 100 Dhaakads for their exemplary work on air. These Dhaakads are NGOs, Organizations, Authorities, Healthcare workers and individuals from different walks of life who have kept humanity above all during the current covid-19 crisis. A digital meet and greet was also conducted to felicitate these relentless warriors, which had none other than respected dignitary Nobel Peace Laureate Sh. Kailash Satyarthi as a Chief Guest extending a host of encouraging words to all the Dhaakads present.

The online meet and greet saw the organizations, NGO’s, individuals and their teams in attendance for a session which was highly interactive and entertaining. Delhi RJs - RJ Khurafati Nitin, RJ Jassi, RJ Simran and RJ Yogi – who spearheaded the campaign lauded all the Dhaakads for their noble work in the society whilst expressing their gratitude. This was followed by an engaging conversation between RJ Jassi and Rohit Datta, the very first Covid-19 patient of Delhi who shared his experience of fighting COVID-19 with positive spirit.

Keeping the energies high, the session featured performances by viral sensation Rajat Rao from Delhi Police and Rocknama band’s lead vocalist Shaheen Salmani which not only entertained all the Dhaakads but left them feeling more appreciated for their continuous efforts in society. In addition to this, E certificates of appreciation were sent for being a Dilli Ke Dhaakad to each individual/ organization/partner as a token of recognition of their commendable work.

Nobel Peace Laureate Sh. Kailash Satyarthi shared, “I have to say we shouldn’t only have heartfelt gratitude towards our frontline workers but we must also laud the efforts of every individual who is contributing in the best possible manner in these testing times. The ‘supply chain of gratitude’ can help in creating a sustainable and peaceful society. I salute all these Dilli Ke Dhaakads who moved beyond their line of duty and served the society by coming together.”
