The annual fund-raising event is being conducted regularly for the past over 2 decades with spectacular success and has now grown into the most- awaited exhibition by the city's elite. Deepshikha Mahila Club is the premier voluntary and social welfare organization of the twin cities. Established in 1965, with a history of over 50 years, their motto is "Service to Humanity is Service to God". Philanthropy, Education, Healthcare and Empowerment through skill development are among the multifarious activities undertaken by the Club. The Deepmela is used to fund the on-going charitable activities of the Club, including the running of the 1200-strong Kanya Gurukul High School, Junior College and Vocational College at Ameerpet in Hyderabad.

Deepshikha Mahila Club is a leading philanthropic organization with a strength of about 150 members. It has adopted the Kanya Gurukul High School at Ameerpet, Hyderabad, under its wings, where education is imparted to over 1200 girl students. The curriculum covers education upto Junior College level, and a Vocational training center that empowers young women from financially weaker sections of society. The center trains them in skills such as tailoring, embroidery, computer science, pre-primary teachers' training courses, para¬medical and office-assistant courses. Deepshikha has always come forward to help in humanitarian causes, such as heart surgery for under-privileged children, extending support to families affected by floods, sending help to the soldiers at the Kargil Front and providing Artificial Limbs to more than 100 physically challenged people. These are only a few of the causes which DEEPSHIKHA was involved in.
