A few words from Pradyot Chowdhury
In course of journey through the cultural activities, at one point of time I thought to create an organisation under the banner of which we can go forward with our creative works. Based on Bengali language our works have been continuing until now beginning from the year 1992.
Sangbitti is the name of our organisation. It is a name of our dream. The Bengali word, “Sangbitti” means consciousnes or awerness. We believe our performance must be informative, educative and having source If entertainment. We welcome those who would like to join us.

Drama
For regular activities in the field of drama Sangbitti has been recognized under the category of ‘Group Theatre’ of West Bengal Drama Academy (Paschimbanga Natya Akademi), Ministry of Information and Culture, Government of West Bengal. The dramas written by playwrights like Manoj Mitra, Mohit Chattopadhyay, Shailesh Guho Neogi and others were successfully staged by the players of Sangbitti.
Recitation / Elocution
Kaji Sabyasachi, son of eminent poet Kaji Nazrul Islam made recitation much popular by his baritone voice and unique style . Bengali poem recitation has gained much weightage all over West Bengal. Performers of Sangbitti with its frequent participation in this art has contributed much to enrich this form.’ Recitation with visualization’ (abritti drishyayan’) is a new concept that Sangbitti is trying to bring before the onlookers by the application of mime, dance, music,light and cinematography with recitation. Some shows like these have proven its wide acceptability .Eminent elocutionist like Pradip Ghosh, Partha Ghosh Bijayluxmi Barman added much prestige of Sangbitti’s programme by their wonderful performances.
Dance
Classical and modern dances goes hand in hand in the Sangbitti’s cultural events. Aloka Kanungo, noted Odissi dancer presented dance performance with her students on the invitation of this organization. Shuvasis Dutta,student of great danseur, Mamata Shankar took part in a modern dance programme with his expert team.
Audio drama
Audio drama has now been emerged as a popular art form in the arena of Bengali culture. Unlike radio drama it can be presented in any place. For acting players need to use their voice only. Music makes it more attractive. Jagannath Basu, the pioneer of audio drama (shrutinatak) with his co-actress Urmimala Basu has made the stage of Sangbitti delightful by their gracious presence to perform audio drama which was a great source of entertainment to the audience.
Mime
Mime is a famous art that has its own language. It needs no utterance. Bodily gesture becomes more vocal than language. A matured mime actor and student of famous mime artiste of the country, Jogesh Dutta, Shantimoy Roy made Sangbitti proud by his excellent performance in several occasions. Sangbitti uses this art as per requirement.
SONG
The entertainment value of song needs no mention. Sangbitti always encourages its singers. Rajeswar Bhattacharya and Shrabani Sen, the prominent singers of Tagore’s song created a pleasant ambience by their melodious voices in the function of Sangbitti. Singer Anjan Dutt by the new stream of Bengali song won the the heart of the audience.

By former president of Sangbitti: Shri Dipak Kumar Hore
I am fortunate to serve as a president of the organization,Sangbitti. During my tenure I got opportunity to observe the activities of our director , Shri Pradyot Chowdhury very closely. His profile is just like a common man of the society. But what attracted me much was his passion for cultural activities.His elocution ,his acting, his direction, he as a playwright,his organizing capacity – all these were surprising to me.
Once I managed to invite him in the annual social function of one branch of State Bank India (Burrabazar,Kolkata) for performing an unique elocution programme (Abritti Drishyayan) added with mime, dance, light,music,stagecraft and cinematography, It was enormously appreciated by the whole audience. For his excellent presentation he was again invited to perform the same type of elocution programme at other two branches of SBI at Kolkata. Actually he made a mark by introducing a new genre in the field of recitation.
He gave me a chance to take part in his play,’ Bratyo Noy’. It was a great experience to me. The drama was written by him , He directed the drama and played a role in the drama. I enjoyed his company all the time
