It is our a great long tradition. This mela strengthens our unity and mutual relationship. In this festival, our various cultural activities are performed and thus it helps us preserve our long-aged native culture. On the first day of Boishakh. We decorated our school premises very tastefully with colored-paper-festoons, balloons and cloth flags of multi-colors. We erected two gates of pine-leaves on bamboo structures; one for entrance and one for an exit. The bamboo enclosure was put up around the premises. Mela stalls were laid out in a circular shape and they were rented out to different shopkeepers who set varieties of fascinating articles to sell. The decoration and building work was done by volunteers who were also engaged in maintaining order and discipline in the fair.

The whole premises looked like a dream-land. We arranged a cultural function when renowned singers, dancers and actors enacted our various native culture. The children were most happy in the fair and had a lot of fun and excitement. They bought fancy articles and were overjoyed with them. People of all ages and occupations, irrespective of sex, caste and creed crowded the fair, bought things and enjoyed a lot. I was also in a very festive mood and had been to the festival all the day long with my friends. I enjoyed a great deal to remember for another year to come.
