The month of September is the lean season of the year. The agricultural fields are filled with paddy and the cultivation of vegetables has occupied the empty places that are available near the water bodies and ravines. Men go to clear their fields of the parasitic plants during the first half of the day and their second half remains busy looking after domestic animals. Women collect snails, vegetables and firewood from the field in the morning and after that, they sit to stitch their brooms and mattress with wild grasses and palm leaves.

From the second half of the month the Santals get busy for the preparation of their Dasae festival and Hindus for their annual festival,  Durga Puja,  to be held on the first week of October.

The activities of the organization continued as usual.
