“Fairs and festivals are the tradition of rural culture. Kumarikunda Fair is carrying on this tradition.” Agriculture Minister Ratanlal Nath said this while inaugurating the two-day long Kumarikunda Fair at Mohanpur’s Gangagattipur in collaboration with the Department of Information and Cultural Affairs and the initiative of Chhatrabrinda Janata Sangh.
