June 10, 2016: Yesterday there was a meeting of The Bengal board members at the Taj Bengal hotel.

Chairman of the organisation, industrialist and philanthropist, H M Bangur discussed the possibility of taking up other social welfare projects under the aegis of The Bengal with working president Jogen Chowdhury and president Nabaneeta Deb Sen. The presentation on banning plastic was given by Anirudha Roy Chowdhury and it was decided that Usha Uthup would be record a special song to promote the banning of plastic bags.

Dona Ganguly gave her views on more effective way of making people aware about negative effects on the use of plastic bags while Arindam Sil talked about the PRONAM project.

For quite some time I was thinking about taking up another project and today we had a serious discussion on promoting the idea of dicarding the use of plastic bags. After the The Bengal meeting, I dropped in at the function to launch the website of Jogen Chowdhury. On Wednesday 8, I had a number of meetings at the Hyatt Regency Kolkata.
