The Pakyong event was held on 13th January 2021 at Pakyong Community Hall, where key speakers were Ashwin Viswanathan (representative of BCI) and Sujan Chatterjee (Secretary of BWS). Kusal Gurung, an administrator from the state was the chief guest at this event. The coordinator Dibyendu Ash managed to keep everything in order. There were 46 participants, who attended the workshop.  

BCI (Bird Count India) and BWS (Birdwatchers’ Society) promote bird watching and bird monitoring across India, with an aim to spread the joy of bird watching and collectively understand our birds better through citizen science. They hold workshops in different parts of the country, where they discuss the merits of bird monitoring and introduce sustainable methods, online tools, and community-oriented programs that can help best document birds.

In this first program of the state, prominent bird watchers, bird-watching guides, school and college students, and other bird-watching enthusiasts were invited.
