Rudranil Ghosh unveils the logo of Paschimbanga Durga Puja Samannay Samity
Kolkata: The newly-formed Durgapuja Samannay Samity (DPSS) announced it has abolished the culture of VIP pass, which used to be distributed for a fee earlier. Prosenjit Saha, Sayak Raj and Pritam Sarkar will function as general secretaries,” Ghosh announced. An official website, dpssinfo.com, was launched, which will host information on all the pujas through the organisation.
“A VIP is the person who lacks the means to buy expensive clothes and stands quietly in a corner,” he said. We also plan to organise a Bijaya Sammillani programme,” he said. “Through DPSS, we stand resolutely shoulder-to-shoulder with our idol-makers, light masters, pandal fabricators, and enthusiastic organisers to elevate Durga Puja to unprecedented global dignity,” a message on the website said.
The organisation positioned itself as Bengal’s apex coordination forum dedicated to unifying organisers, uplifting grassroots artisans, and protecting cultural legacy. “Our chief adviser will be Bhaskar Bhattacharya. Sanjay Majumdar, Saptarshi Chowdhury, Tamaghno Ghosh and Anupam Bhattacharya have been chosen as vice-presidents. During the meet, Ghosh identified the elderly, the disabled, and the underprivileged as the festival’s true VIPs. The Times Square Puja in New York is also a part of this, as well as pujas in Dubai, London, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
this organisation has roped in organisers from outside as well While the earlier forum was Kolkata-centric. Rudranil Ghosh , who was earlier the committee adviser, will now function as its president. The official logo and website of the organisation, dpssinfo.com, were unveiled on Wednesday.
