Since the venue does not have an OHP, we can Hire one from the market. I have checked the rate which is about INR 1500.00. If all attendees contribute INR 50.00 and if we have attendance of 30 we can easly bear the cost. Those who think they are OK with this cost let me know as I have to book the projector latest by tomorrow afternoon/evening.
