He announced the construction of a drug de-addiction center in Bishramganj at an estimated cost of Rs 200 crore, with plans to establish similar centers in every district.

The fair features 14 exhibition stalls from various government departments, displaying a wide range of products, along with an art gallery. Cultural performances will be held throughout the event, showcasing both local and out-of-state artists. Planned events include Baul and folk music performances, Dhamail, Jhumur, Kathinritya, quizzes, debates, drama, and poetry gatherings.
