I am deeply honoured & glad to know that ManabJati Kalyan Foundation and New Town Intellectuals are Organising Durga Puja this year in a grand manner at New Town, Kolkata.

Devi Durga, The Goddess of Power, is the embodiment of divine power and feminine energy. We worship Maa Durga to bestow upon mankind all righteousness, knowledge, prosperity and other potent powers. Durga Puja which marks the victory of good over evil, is also a celebration that strengthens the bond of harmony & peace in our Society.

My sincere appeal to all sections of people of entire West Bengal & India to be part of this greatest festival of India is also declared as intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO. It’s celebrated by Business Houses, Professionals, Artists, Vendors, Social Workers and most importantly common people of Bengal of all ages without any hesitation. Please come and join hands together to create an unmatchable & commendable example of religious culture of India & Bengal in presence of millions of people here.

As a Chairman of New Town Durga Puja Committee. I express my Best Wishes to the Organizing Committee Members, Devotees and other Participants who are diligently and emotionally involved in this Puja this year.

Thanks & Regards,

Basant Sethia,
Chairman New Town Durga Puja Committee 2023
