Our Existence
We, as Odisha Social and Cultural Association, Vasundhara, Ghaziabad , came into existence in the year 2009 after duly registering ourself under Society Act. However, it is pertinent to note that we were informally in existence a decade ago prior to that. Our organization is a creation of a group of individuals hails from Odisha and settled at Vasundhara and nearby other housing colony namely Indira Puram, Vaishali in NCR. Though we individually are from different parts of Odisha, but by coming together in this distant part away from Odisha with definite social objectives, we feel like home and look our association as a mini Odisha away from Odisha. The individual members of this organization of mini Odisha have put their best efforts and initiatives to make it best of its kind by contributing their valuable time and ideas for fulfillment of its objectives. One of the primary objective of our organization has been for the celebration of Durga Puja, which we are doing successfully since so many years and through which we have succeeded to prove our identity, and depicted our cultural values & customs of Odisha to people belonging to other part of our country as well to our next generation with an intention to carry on the rich culture and tradition.
