Activty - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES: Throughout the year, various social activities are indulged in with important inputs by the residents and their valuable time . ( i ) Each year we conduct a Blood-Donation camp, keeping in view the dearth of blood in our Blood Banks. This year too, we held such a camp but with a significant difference. The Camp was organized and conducted by the women of the locality and more than 100 women donated blood. ( ii ) Along with the Blood – Donation camp we also organize a free health check up camp. This year was no exception and more than 500 people were served. Clinical test, pertaining to life style diseases, such as BMI, Bone Density test etc, were also undertaken free of cost. (iii ) A separate eye-camp relating to the various ailments of the eye, also takes place free of cost. Free distribution of spectacles to the needy, after proper check – up has been taking place for the past few years. We have plans for setting up a free cataract operation camp in the near future CULTURAL VENTURES Throughout the year the committee indulges itself in various cultural ventures with a view to promote new and local talents. Tagore’s birthday and the day of his demise is remembered through the enactment of his dance drama, recitation of his poetry and singing his songs. All these are performed by the local talents.
