The program had many parts like drawing competition, stretcher distribution and blindfold art followed by lunch for the guests. Mrs. Smita Bakshi, MLA Jorasako, said, “This is a wonderful initiative by both the organisation and such initiatives should be taken up at a regular interval. Sometime back I went to Purulia for recreation the people there expressed their grief that after Mahasweta Devi there is no one to look after me. I shared this incident with Chorebagan Durgatsav Committee and they arranged a trip to Purulia where they did few welfare activities. I am glad that they are not just confined to celebrating Durgatsav but also have expanded their social responsibilities.”
“I am glad to see both Chorebagan Durgatsav Committee and Bondhu Ek Asha indulge in these kinds of social activities. With them I also went to Purulia where we distributed art materials and conducted workshops”, said Debashish Mullick Choudhury, founder of Monmarte.
