Telangana  governor Jishnu Dev Verma recently inaugurated  the Sarvojanin Durgotsab 2024 organised by the Bangiya Sanskritik Sangha in Secunderabad in the presence of puja organiser and ace social worker Abhijeeth Bhattacharjee.

Bangiya Sanskritik Sangha is celebrating the 59th Sarvojanin Durgotsab 2024 at Keyes Girls High School Secunderabad from Oct 7 to 13, with its avowed objectives of serving the society in terms of assimilation and synthesis of cultural ethos of all communities.

Inaugurating the puja, Telangana Governor Jishnu Dev Verma emphasized the role of the community in character building and taking the ownership and responsibility in protecting the great Indian culture, heritage, and ethos.

He said the present generation has to be told about our rich culture and these kinds of festivity acts like a soft power in permeating the value system to the next generation.

Abhijeeth Bhattacharjee, social worker and the Vice-President and Chairman of the Branding and Sponsorship Committee, said: “Goddess Durga is the mother of the Universe and she is the personification of tender love, wealth, power,beauty and all virtues and this festival thus creates a platform of festivity, fun, frolic and splendor and above all the essence of the attainment of positive virtues.”

General Secretary Subroto Ganguly said: “Durga Puja is very close to the hearts of every Bengalis and people eagerly look forward to participating and getting involved with this festivity."

“Our Puja is one of the oldest and largest Puja in South India and it attracts huge footfalls,” claimed the President of Bangiya Sanskritik Sangha, Secunderabad.

The Gathering at Keyes School is the major cultural congregation during Dussehra drawing crowds from all parts of the city with footfalls going beyond four lakhs in 7 Days.

The Festival attracts 80 percent of the local crowd representing the communities such as Telugus, Tamilians, Marwaris, Punjabis, Gujratis, Malyalis and many others.

The Governor felt that this showcases the true spirit of National Integration and the Unity in diversity.

The 7-day activity will have a packed programme from morning till late night and thereby creating a platform to nourish and curate the local talents every year.

“People forget their pain these 7-10 days and come forward to celebrate Durga Puja and this spirit can only be seen in India where people coming from different background such as Language,Caste, Creed, Race and religion exhibit their total surrender to Ma Durga with the hope that they will always be protected by her, come what may” asserted Abhijeeth Bhattacharjee.
