artisans and craft person and performing artists.
We wish to
further take this opportunity to appeal to you and your esteemed institution
for the following:
1. That we are
desirous to organise Bengal Expo – An
event of exhibition, sale and performance foregrounding and thematic of
districts of West Bengal and its cultural heritage. Conceived as a 10days
event, preceding Mahalaya, the event
is expected to dually showcase Bengali Culture as well as generate a handsome
commerce, which would directly affect the artisans and craft person and
performing artists.
2. Further to
Bengal Expo, we wish to create a Bengal
