Ra’dia Inc. and Kotha Kobita Abritti jointly organised a unique poetry competition programme titled “Kobitar Khojey”. Promising poets receited their self-composed poems. This initiative is designed to make youths of the country vibrant, literate and creative. In this regard, with love, rebellion, passion and urge for youth and excitement, young poets were invoked to submit their self-composed poems. The members of the jury board nominated the best ten poems from many young poets.
