The entire maidan is brimming with activities and people, entering from any side, have the option to stray into a mela. The Regional Saras Mela which was inaugurated by chief minister Nitish Kumar will continue till December 14. Spread over 2.5 lakh square meter area, the fair has 250 stalls and they are occupied by women self-help groups (SHGs) who are displaying their products. About 250 representatives of SHGs from 13 states are taking part in this fair which is being organised by the Union ministry for rural develoment and state rural development department with Patna commissioner as its nodal officer.
