Kallol Bhattacharya formed his theatre group ‘Ebong Amra’ in 1994 and engaged the local tribal youth from the Bauri and Bagdi communities who had dropped out of school and worked as daily labours. They developed the place as a self sustained one capable of catering to the basic needs of its inhabitants and generate additional income. They have their own farming, poultry and pisciculture. They also supply saplings to nearby places.
