Experience the vibrant fusion of tradition and innovation!

On January 31, 2026, Sinchan Education and Rural Entrepreneurship Foundation organized a grand Traditional Food Fair and Agricultural Exhibition at the Kadampur Football Ground and ‘Prakritir Abha’ Organic Initiative site in Md. Bazar, West Bengal.

This event was a celebration of the Santhali community’s rich heritage, timed with the lingering spirit of the Badna Festival. From the rhythmic beats of the Dhamsa-Madal to the showcasing of rare, "poison-free" crops, the fair was a testament to the power of community-led rural development.
