BD Block Sarbojanin Durgotsab Committee.

BD BLOCK SARBOJANIN DURGOTSAB COMMITTEE was founded in the year 1978 under the parenthood of BD BLOCK FORUM with an aim to develop spiritual, sporting and cultural activities amongst the resident of the locality. The association encourages selfless pursuit amongst its various age group with having many members from various artistic and creative fields that have provided leadership in advancement of our great national cultural heritage. Members of the Forum decided to celebrate Durga Puja which the founding fathers possibly thought the occasion would bring the people of the locality closer during the biggest festival of the year, thus the added bondage ensured smooth interactions which resulted into a homogeneous socially activated ambiance which resulted into a smooth passage to work together for a any social cause.
