Further relationships need to be developed between lyricists, composers and vocalists. So leaving three organizations - everyone plans to make a federal organization. The name of which is Sangeet Oikya, Bangladesh. I have taken 4 representatives from each of the three associations. I have formed an executive committee. We want to create a link between every music person in every district of Bangladesh.β
