For long long years, JUPC have been generating interest and enthusiasm not only among the students but also others. Their VIBRANT enthusiasm is honest and dedicated.

I like JUPC though I had visited many clubs and organizations because of the fact that there is no quarrel among the students for the chair of responsibilities.

GAJAN
By AVIJIT ROY
In the name itself, there is a meaning, Ga means gram-village and jan –janagan-people. It is the festival of the village people with folk culture. In the mid of March-April, the devotees (sannyasis) worn in gerua (saffron) clothes, thread garland and a bent cane stick in hand, beg from door to door. After a day’s fasting they in the evening take food with whatever they collect. It continues for a month. At the end of the month to mark the closing of the festival, there is a fair (mela). In that mela the sannyasis display various risky games like, banti-jump, angling-hook swinging and play with skull etc.etc. At this they sacrifice their evils to the Lord Shiva, god of sacrifice, worn in tiger-hide who has left the worldly assests and saves the gods by swallowing poison. The sannyasis perform those games even they are life-killing. Still it is a Milan-mela (fair of unity). It is very inhuman and so it is being abated gradually. In 1956-57 the Government once tried to ban it but on the encouragement of people it is still going on in somehow moderated form .
