The day was filled with joy, curiosity, and wonder—reminding us why art and storytelling truly belong to the young at heart.

I, along with my regional women’s folk song group, have performed on stage with WICCI (Animation and Entertainment Council WICCI West Bengal). It was a great honor for us! The performance took place at Rathindra Mancha. WICCI provides opportunities for all artists—in singing, art exhibitions, and theater performances. I offer my heartfelt respect and best wishes to President Hansa Mondal for involving so many people in such innovative initiatives! Many congratulations to all the talented individuals associated with WICCI’s events.

WICCI (Women's Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) is an organization whose plans and activities are quite distinct from other women’s groups. In 2024, their activities began with a beautiful event on International Music Day. Since then, after working in various fields such as painting and theater, they have now taken the initiative to publish an online magazine. In March 2025, under WICCI’s supervision, a wonderful art exhibition was held at the Ramakrishna Mission Gallery (Golpark), featuring various artists (without receiving any financial support from them). This strong step by WICCI—to bring artists into the public eye—is highly commendable. We extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for WICCI’s new initiative of launching an online magazine.
