Balasore: Tata Steel Foundation (TSF) Balasore, in collaboration with Basanti Mata Puja Committee, Chaumukh, celebrated the Boita Bandana Utsav at Chaumukh Village, under the Subarnarekha Port Private Limited (SPPL) operational area.
The event commenced with an array of creative activities for young minds, including “Drawing & Slogan” competitions centered on the theme of Boita Bandana, intricately linked to the futuristic trade business of port operations. This engaging start set the tone for a day filled with cultural significance and forward-looking perspectives.
