Every year Lion Club organises mass-marriage ceremony popularly known  as ‘Gana Bibaho’. Like previous years, this year too a huge crowd attended the occasion which saw 19 couples getting hitched for life. The couples were selected on the basis of their economic condition, the organising committee conducted interviews on January 28, 2018 to evaluate the couples.

Most people dream of a lavish marriage, but not all can afford it, Lions Clubs mass-marriage ceremony opens up the door for the ones who cannot afford. Apart from marriage, the occasion hosts a set of cultural events, arranges refreshment for attendees.

This year one thing has changed though, instead of Normal School premises (where the event was held for 13 consecutive years) the venue was Deshbhakta Tarun Ram Phukan higher secondary school at PWD road Silchar.

District Zonal Lion, Radha Agrawal travelled from Guwahati to Silchar to attend the event. He encouraged other lions to promote this noble work. Besides, Lion members of 12 Lions Club of Barak Valley and Lioness members of Silchar Lions Club were present to witness the couples getting married.

This one of a kind event in Silchar is growing every year, hope next year more couples see their dream come true in this event.
