“We have decided the date after NCUI President Chandra Pal Singh Yadav confirmed us the date; it would be held on 27^th February.

Giving details of the cooperative function Sunil Singh said that all the efforts to make it memorable are being made; Patna would be converted into some kind of a cooperative town capital with cut-outs as high as 80 feet dotting the skyline of the town. He plans to have two such cut-outs of NCUI President –one at the famous Gandhi Maidan and second at the gate of Srikrishna Hall where the function is scheduled to take place.

The ambitious programme has everything- evening team with CM Nitish Kumar residence, dinner at a moving steamer in the Ganges, a chat with Deputy CM and a Volvo to take the guests around Pavapuri and Bodhgaya. The cooperators would also be meeting RJD Supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav –the leader who has supported Sunil through thick and thin.

“Bihar is known for warmth and hospitality and we would try to present our guests with an example of this. We would pack them off with famous Bihari delicacies such as Anarsha and Tilkut”, Biscomaun Chairman added.

Sunil confirmed the booking of more than 35 rooms in the prestigious Maura Hotel-the best in Patna to house about 70 high-profile guests. He expects 75 of them.
