Dussehra brought an air of festivity for villages, as BCT conducted special 'sambaralu' (celebrations) through the leadership of locally operative Community Action Groups. Held from 2nd to 5th October 2022, a meeting was first held with village representatives and CAG members from 60 villages.
BCT Secretary gave the orientation for the sambaralu and the theme centered around bringing back customs and traditional practices in the region with youth participation. 38 villages across 5 mandals decked up during the festival and enthusiastically participated in traditional games, folk dances, folk songs, and bhajan competitions.
The best participants in each village received prizes from their village elders. BCT provided 700 certificates of appreciation for the participants. Funds for the events were raised by the villagers themselves, as Community Organizers coordinated with the CAGs for proper organization of events. The impact of the program was wonderful, with enthusiastic participation and showcasing of customs and culture. It also saw great organizing and participatory skills of the youth.
Students are now settling back with their academic activities and face their upcoming half-yearly examinations.
