Despite the rain, eager participants began arriving at the Krishibid Institute auditorium. Many were seen standing in front of the booths, umbrellas in hand, gathering information. From early morning, students from universities and nursing institutes, as well as professionals of various ages, crowded the venue for on-the-spot registration and interviews.
