ABOUT PRANTIK: 
 
PRANTIK was established in 1973 to meet the needs of a growing Bengali Community in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. Chartered as a non-profit organization in 1974, it functions to serve two broad objectives. First, Prantik actively promotes Bengali culture among its members as well as among other ethnic groups of Baltimore City and the State of Maryland by hosting a number of social and cultural gatherings in the Greater Baltimore area. In an effort to project the image of Bengal in this area Prantik had hosted a large number of performers from Bengal. The list includes, the late Hemanta Mukherjee, Shyamal Mitra, Sagar Sen, Nirmalendu Choudhury; Sarbashree Tripti Mitra, Suchitra Mitra, Kanika Bandyopadhyay, Swapan Gupta, Ajoy Chakrabarty, Ananda Shankar, Mamata Shankar, Usha Uthup, Purna Das Baul, Anup Ghoshal, etc. Prantik was a co-host of the sixth Banga Sammelan in 1985 and the twenty-fourth Banga Sammelan in 2004.  Prantik also participates in many ethnic programs like the India Day, Asian Festival, Banga Sammelan, Bangladesh Sammelan, etc.

Prantik suggests an annual contribution of $20 per family to meet its yearly expenses. Members receive discounts on all Prantik events and receives regular newsletters providing information on upcoming events and community activities. Persons interested in donating money to Prantik are urged to contact any of the Committe Members. Prantik is also looking for dedicated volunteers. Please contact any of the committee members if you would like to get involved or would like to find out more about Prantik. We hope to see you at our next event.
