APS Events
Celebrating Culture, Embracing Community, Empowering Change
At Anandadhara Prabasi Sanstha (APS), we believe in celebrating our rich cultural heritage while giving back to the community. Our events are not just about enjoyment; they are also an opportunity to make a positive impact on society. Here’s a glimpse of our key events and the social causes we support:
Our annual Durga Puja is a grand celebration that brings together the community in joyous festivity. Alongside the cultural programs, rituals, and feasting, we undertake various social initiatives such as distributing food and clothing to the underprivileged.
Lokkhi puja
Following Durga Puja, we celebrate Lakshmi Puja, honoring the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
Annual Picnic
Our annual picnic is a day of fun, relaxation, and bonding for APS members. It’s a time to enjoy outdoor activities, games, and delicious food, strengthening the community spirit.
Saraswati Puja
Saraswati Puja is a celebration of knowledge and learning. We use this occasion to conduct educational workshops, distribute books and study materials to children from economically weaker sections, and support initiatives that promote literacy and education in our community.
Holi
Holi, the festival of colors, is marked by vibrant celebrations and a spirit of togetherness. APS organizes inclusive events where people from all walks of life can come together and celebrate.
Noboborsho (Bengali New Year)
Noboborsho marks the Bengali New Year, and we celebrate this day with cultural performances, traditional music, and dance. We also organize community feasts and involve members in activities that promote local culture and heritage.
Rabindra and Nazrul Jayanti
We honor the birthdays of two of Bengal’s greatest poets, Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam, with special cultural programs. These events feature recitations, music, and dance performances inspired by their works. We also encourage young talents to participate and showcase their skills, fostering a love for literature and arts among the new generation.
