This event, hosted by the Centre for Bharat Studies and SMART at the renowned Indian Museum in Kolkata, focused on the important subject of the Impact of Population Demographics on Socio-Demographics. A distinguished panel of eminent speakers shared valuable insights and data on this subject during the discussion. The changing demographics of West Bengal and their impact on present-day society have given rise to serious concerns.
