The Institute of Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Development’s (iLEAD) faculty and staff gathered to commemorate Durga Puja, an auspicious event highly respected in West Bengal and beyond. The organization demonstrated its dedication to cultural heritage and community building on this momentous day.

Employees dressed in their finest Indian attire for a traditional dress day that marked the start of the festivities. The celebrations proceeded with a musical spectacle that included faculty members’ heartfelt Rabindra Sangeet performances and classic songs by great performers like Kumar Sanu and Kishore Kumar.

A delectable Bengali snack fair with well-known delicacies like Puchka and Churmur was also part of the event. Participants also relished Dandiya and Dhunuchi dance, which showcased India’s vast cultural diversity and served as a means of expressing unity with the festival’s spirit across geographical boundaries.

The customary décor using Shola objects, which honored Bengal’s renowned workmanship, was a distinctive feature of the festival. The celebrations gained a unique touch from iLEAD’s sustainable campus, which was constructed with recyclable materials.

The institution’s dedication to sustainability and innovation is demonstrated by the installation of a magnificent Durga statue made from recycled materials at the House of Sheherwali, a museum hotel in Azeemganj.
