Theme

We are one of the oldest clubs of Kolkata involved with obsessive commitments towards social welfare services, although performing Durgapuja was our principle activity for social harmony.

In recent times theme Pujas have become order of the day. We are also no exception. Last year our theme was “Books – Read and let others Read”. We wanted to send a message that technology is not a substitute to reading for acquiring knowledge. This year we are presenting another unique theme “Music”.

William Shakespeare said “Music is the language of God”. We have decided to welcome Debi Durga and her family with their language.

Tagore said “Language express emotions and music is the resting place of emotions”. There will be some musical instruments all over the mandap to create the musical ambience. We are highlighting some special instruments which are no more or very rarely being used.

Incidentally, this year, 75^th Year Birth Anniversary of Legend Rahul Dev Burman which is being widely celebrated all over India. We take this opportunity to find a suitable place for Pancham in our ‘Musical Thoughts’ and pay our tribute by dedicating our Puja in his memory. This is our privilege to mention that Pancham was brought up in our neighborhood and studied in Tirthapati Institution at Rash Behari Avenue in his early days.

We have started our Social welfare project “Service to Humanity” from 6^th June, 2014, at Birla Academy. It has been our latest resolution that we will gear up our social activities and intensify our service towards sufferers. We have decided to fix a budget and accelerate our services in a planned manner.

Realising the immense magnitude of the affliction the society is in today and our own limitations, we have decided to take one stride at a time. Our primary focus is the under nourished and under privileged women and children. Hence, Samaj Sebi Sangha has vowed undying sustenance to the needy few we can reach out to.

Intent on sharing our moments of joy with those for who happiness is a rarity, we have decided to spend our Puja this year with such people. Each day of Puja will start with a social event. Our projects will revolve around providing humanitarian service to all sections of people and upholding the values of societal development. 

We consider “Service to humanity” is not our job but it is our responsibility.
