The cultural Team of the Sammilani sang the opening song which was followed by individual songs by the artist who sang melodious world famous Rabindra Sangeet. The Vice President (Cultural) Bhabani Pal said that the drama Dabotar Grash’, which was performed by the children and the adult alike is based on the blind belief prevailing in the society at that time.
