Light breakfast, tea and home cooked meals were provided. We all had a wonderful time and made a lot of memories to cherish. Some of the moments from the event are captured in these photos.


October 1, 2023: All students meetup -- we generally have our monthly all students meetup on the 1st Sunday of the month at the Swajan Foundationโ€™s India complex. Since this year the Durga Puja festival is also around that time, we are going to have the meeting on Saturday (1st October) instead of Sunday at 9:30am IST. 1st October is also Maha Sasthi, so we will be having some special programs too on that day. We are cordially inviting all of our current and former students. Let's meet on this special day and celebrate together.


August 15, 2023: Swajan Foundation is celebrating India's 75th Independence Day.


August 7, 1941, Calcutta. On this day, a period of prolonged, agonizing illness ended with the death of Rabindranath Tagore at his Jorasanko home. The Bengali calendar read: 22 Shrabon, 1349. Every year, the 22nd day of Shrabon, irrespective of the Gregorian or โ€˜Englishโ€™ calendar, has therefore been a day of mourning in Bengal.

We are celebrating Tagoreโ€™s life and legacy at Swajan Foundationโ€™s India complex.
