You may primarily contact the good colleges from Kolkata, Guwahati,
Cuttack, Ranchi, and Patna. This may include
Presidency, Jadavpur, St.Xaviers, Narendrapur, etc., from Kolkata and
the ones like Ravenshaw college from Cuttack. I don't know the names
of the good colleges in Patna and Guwahati. Students from these places
will be able to give the names.  There are some reasonably good
colleges in the district towns also. This includes the K.N. College of
Berhampur, the Midnapur college, Bankura Christian college, Jalpaiguri
A.C. college, etc. You may include them.

Please meet Mr. Shibnarayan Pal at the administrative building. He
will be able to give you the addresses of companies doing business
with IISER. But my experience at IIT tells that soft drink companies,
FM radio stations and private TV channels should also be targetted.

There is an auditorium at BCKV, where our cultural programme of the
2009 was held. We can get it for the purpose of the programme.

Please also consult the other members of the Students' Activities Committee.
