The month of December is one of the busiest months for the villagers of our neighborhood. It is the time when the harvesting of rice is towards the end and the festive season of the village melas (fair) begins in different areas of the district. For us Santals, we are taking preparation to celebrate our biggest festival ‘Sorhae’, the harvest festival which begins from 10th and will continue till the 16th of January 2021.
The famous fair of our area off course is the historic Poush Mela of Santiniketan that Rabindranath Tagore started in 1894. Until two years ago our organization had put up the stall in Poush mela in collaboration with the Bose institute, Kolkata to promote the ideas of income generation programs in the Santal villages and we also sold the product of our bio-farm. The poush mela could not be held in December of 2020 due to Covid-19 Pandemic.er Bio-Farm.
