The program also observed International Mother Language Day, honoring language martyrs with a moment of silence and a brief discussion meeting.

Sixteen volunteers donated blood during the camp. Notably, the couple themselves participated as donors, underscoring the social message behind the event. Their effort was supported by Bangiya Mahishya Samaj, whose district secretary Sandipan Sarkar and other members attended the program.
