History
Since 1991, Bengali speaking families of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska are getting together during Durga Puja festival in Wichita. A need for an association has been felt as a vehicle for promoting Bengali cultural activities in the midwestern states.
During 1995 Durga Puja festival in Wichita, a consensus was formed to organize an association. An association by the name Sangam was formally formed at a meeting held on November 18, 1995, at Dr. Ashim Mitra's residence in Overland Park.
