On 11th September, it was reported that during Durga Puja, West Bengal Government’s Kanyashree scheme will be theme of festivities at the Camden Community Centre near the famous King’s Cross Railway Station in central London.
This is the first time that a government scheme will feature at the event, popularly known as ‘Camden Durga Puja’, which has been an annual affair for the last 54 years.
“Personally the scheme touched my heart. A large number of girls have benefited from it. Recently, it was acknowledged by the UN, which generated a lot of interest golobally and especially London. The committee took a decision that we should select this scheme as our Durga Puja theme this year to create more awareness about it,” said Dr. Ananda Gupta, chairman of the London Durga Puja and Dusserah Committee that organises the event.
At the event, stalls and posters of the government schemes will be put up to further popularise the scheme.
In June, the United Nations honoured Mamata Banerjee’s government for the scheme at a ceremony held at the World Forum, The Hague in The Netherlands.
