*Snehi Samaj Honors Daanveer Bhamashah’s Legacy in Bokaro with Grand Celebration*
Bokaro: The birth anniversary of the legendary philanthropist Daanveer Bhamashah was celebrated with great enthusiasm and reverence by Snehi Samaj Bokaro at Tiranga Park, Camp 2 at Bokaro Steel City on Tuesday. The event witnessed the presence of several prominent community members and dignitaries who gathered to honour Bhamashah’s unparalleled contribution to Indian history.
The program commenced with the garlanding of Bhamashah’s statue and lighting of the ceremonial lamp by former BJP MLA, Snehi Samaj District President Dinesh Kumar Sah, and other distinguished guests.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA highlighted Bhamashah’s extraordinary sacrifice during a critical period in Indian history. “When Maharana Pratap was forced into the forests after losing all his wealth during the Mughal invasions, Bhamashah came forward and donated his entire fortune to support the resistance. His act of valor and selflessness reignited the spirit of freedom and resistance in the country,” he said, adding that Bhamashah remains one of India’s greatest philanthropists.
President DK Sah also reflected on the origins and growth of Snehi Samaj, stating that the organization was founded in 1973 by a small group of 15–20 individuals in Bokaro. Today, it boasts over 5,000 members and continues to play a pivotal role in various social welfare and community upliftment initiatives across the district.
A special moment in the ceremony was the felicitation of Shyam Sundar Sah, one of the founding members of Snehi Samaj, who was honored with a shawl by President Dinesh Kumar Sah as a gesture of respect and gratitude.
Addressing the gathering, Shyam Sundar Sah, a founding member of Snehi Samaj, recalled that the organisation was established in 1973 by a small group of 15 to 20 individuals on the occasion of Bhamashah’s birth anniversary.

Today, Snehi Samaj stands as a leading social organisation in Bokaro, actively working toward societal upliftment and welfare.
