Bengali Associations, Durga Puja

History of NABC
It started with few small hesitant steps back in 1981 by Cultural Association of Bengal, New York. Slowly but steadily it turned into a bold and confident march. Banga Sammelan has now become a major event in bengali life in North America. The inaugural conference was held in a small school and attended by only 200 people. Today 27 years later, every bengali in north America is proud to say that our conference had grown to attract over 7/8 thousands of attendees.
