Choto Chokhe Boro Pujo is a unique, student-centric initiative that takes place every year during Durga Puja, one of the most celebrated festivals in Eastern India, especially in West Bengal.

The activity encourages student engagement with culture, creativity, and critical thinking by empowering young minds to be judges of artistry, tradition, and innovation.

The core idea is to have students visit prominent Durga Puja pandals across the city and evaluate them based on various parameters such as theme, creativity, social message, environmental consciousness, and overall presentation.

After the judging rounds, pandals are honored with awards based on the student assessments, making it a community-recognized initiative that celebrates both art and youth perspective.
