New projects

Monday evening we had a meeting of The Bengal team at The Conclave. The member of The Bengal met after almost four months this time and various issues, including Pronam Annual Function scheduled for 4thSeptember 2010 to The Telegraph True Spirit Puja, were discussed.

It was decided at the meeting that The Bengal should do one more social project besides Pronam that has been a huge success. The programme committee members Anandi Ghosh and Arpita Pal have been entrusted with the joint responsibility to work out a suitable project in three weeks time.

It was a brainstorming session with many other ideas and thoughts exchanged. Sunil Ganguly, Nabaneeta Deb Sen, Chunni Goswami, Gautam Ghosh, Arindam Sil, Arpita Pal, Anandi Ghosh, Jogen Chowdhury and Javed Yusuf attended the meeting. Javed Yusuf has also been given the responsibility of Pronam project as a joint convenor.

Dolly Basu and Dona Ganguly could not attend the meeting as they were not well while Mr H M Bangur had to rush to Mumbai for unavoidable reason. Usha Uthup, who is currently en route to Los Angeles for the Ananda Utsav, could not attend.

It was a good meeting in which there was lot of ideation and plans. Hopefully, some of these should take off.
