Purulia is a backward district of West Bengal; as a result there lived thousands of poor people who are unable to purchase even a pair of cloth for their children throughout the year, but they desire to give a pair of cloths to their children at least during the Durga Puja. Looking to their requirements Rotary Club of Purulia organized a Cloth Distribution Programme on 5th October 2008 at Dhabghata, Purulia. This programme of Rotary Club of Purulia was blessed by the poor people of the locality and the precious thing that Rotary Club of Purulia achieved was the smile of the poor children who danced with joy after receiving a pair of new cloths in the festive season.

Rotary Club of Purulia distributed 100 cloths to the poor women, 75 pairs of cloths to the boys and 75 pairs of cloths to the girls with lots of toys. District Administrative Officials like Circle Inspector and Officer in Charge of Town Police were present in the programme.
