Monthly Report, March 2022
13.04.2022 News
March is the month of transition of weather from pleasant spring to the hot summer. The most common trees like mango, peeple, mahua, sal, neem bear new leaves and fruits. As the nature around us changes its colors, the villagers are also gradually going back to their own rhythm of life after the long Covid-19 pandemic. The educational institutions have reopened and the youth who work outside their villages have begun to return to their own places of work. This year we could not organize our important festival, i.e, the Baha parab (spring festival) in Ghosaldanga due to the pandemic. Since last 31 years we have been organizing this festival mainly for the people from outside the village. However, the traditional Baha that is celebrated by the respective villagers were held as usual.
Bishnubati:
Besides the regular programmes like morning and evening coaching classes, cleaning, gardening, sports and music classes, the students and teachers also had their annual picnic at the museum campus one evening. Everybody who joined in the picnic contributed 250 grams of rice and Rs. 10/- . A new submersible (water pump) was installed in the campus. The pump water will mainly be used for drinking and in the washroom. A hand pump had been there for many years but due to insufficient ground water it is now dysfunctional. A new commode pan has been installed in the washroom. It is the first of its kind in the village.
