The birthday of the poet, artist, musician, and nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore, is celebrated every year with great pride by Bengali people.
For this year’s 157th anniversary, children at CRS schools dressed up, paraded through the streets, recited poetry and performed dances in his honour .
Good progress is being made at Mahamaya thanks to funds raised by Scargill Church of England Primary School in Derbyshire.
The project is to build two more floors on to an existing single storey building to provide a medical centre and women’s centre for around 15 villages.

The football teams from B D Colony and G B Lane went head-to-head last week in an exciting match won by B D Colony. Participating in football gives boys from CRS Education Centres motivation and a sense of pride, as well as developing teamwork. This sporting initiative has been a really successful since being established about ten years ago.
Children attending the CRS Education Centre at Topsia now have new uniforms, shoes and socks, wool cardigans for the winter, lunch boxes and water bottles thanks to funds raised by children at Ashgate Primary School in Derby. The school room will also be equipped with a ceiling fan and shoe rack. This follows the visit of two teachers from Ashgate to Topsia earlier this year as part of the Derby Diocese partnership.
