Get involved
As the previous patrons will tell you, we intently drive to make this ‘sarbojonin’ pujo, a truly homely experience. Starting from the planning, negotiating with vendors, shopping, logistics, marketing, artwork, cultural programs and finances, along with the actual pujo rituals are performed by ‘unpaid’ volunteer members.
Your involvement in any of the below areas based on your interest and experience is highly appreciated. Please get in touch with us or the team leaders to get involved. Helpful hint: areas with least amount of blue needs most help.
