Employees at the Chennai-based Challani Jewellery were in for a surprise on Sunday when they received cars and bikes as Diwali gifts.

Cars and bikes worth Rs 1.2 crore as Diwali gift

Jayanthi Lal Chayanthi, the owner of Challain Jewellery gifted eight cars and 18 bikes worth over Rs 1.2 crore to his staff and colleagues.

“As many as 10 employees have been gifted cars while 20 have been gifted bikes”, said the owner of the jewellery shop, Jayanthi Lal.

While some of them were surprised, others were left with tears of happiness.

Employees are like my family

Jayanthi Lal said that his staff has worked with him through all ups and downs.

“This is to encourage their work and add something special to their lives. They have worked with me in all ups and downs in my business and helped me earn profits,” he told ANI.

According to Jayanthi Lal, his employees were like family.

“They are not just staff, but my family. So, I wanted to treat them like my family members by giving them such surprises. I am very happy wholeheartedly after this. Every owner should respect their staff and colleagues by giving them gifts,” he further said.

Diwali comes early for contractual employees in Odisha

On Saturday some 57,000 contract employees in Odisha got a surprise gift ahead of Diwali as the government announced the abolishing of contractual hiring and said they will be regularised.

The decision, for which the state government will spend an additional Rs 1,300 crore per year, was taken at a Cabinet meeting on the eve of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s 76th birthday.

Patnaik said many state governments have done away with regular recruitment.

“But, in Odisha, the era of contractual recruitment has come to an end. I was waiting for this moment. More than 57,000 employees will be benefited. The government will spend approximately Rs 1,300 crore per annum. This decision brings early Diwali for their family members,” he said.

In the past, Surat-based billionaire diamond merchant Savji Dholakia has surprised his employees with cars, bikes, and flats as Diwali gifts.
