Communal Harmony Programme
SAMAR is a creative, social group of young and restless people based in Patna. It believes that there should be no boundaries between people. Throughout the second half of 2019, we – members of this group - pitted our minds to find ways to build or rebuild harmony among different social communities in rural areas of Bihar. We held various discussions with several social and cultural activists in Patna. Thereafter, SAMAR decided to plan and execute three kinds of interactive activities to bring rural youths closer to each other –
• Sadbhawna Cup - Cricket for Harmony
• Village Library Initiative
• Tree Plantation Drive
Sadbhawna Cup
SAMAR has been organising Sadbhawna Cup since 2020 in Neora panchayat of Bihta block of Patna. It is unique in its nature. Only youths under the age of 22 years are eligible for this tournament. The rules of the event demand each team to have at least two players from each social category - SC/ST, OBC, Minority, and General. Banners displayed and discussions held on the objectives of the tournament during the tournament convey the message of peace, brotherhood, and harmony.
