DEVANGAN was loosely formed on the pavements off Deshapriya Park, calcutta by 4 young, romantic, unrealistic youth way back in 1992. The activities were limited to mixing & playing with the pavement kids. In 1995, with 3 of the creators gone, it grew into a cultural school for the slum kids operating in a slum in south calcutta-Panditia. One of the slum youth was appointed as dance teacher and drawing, recitation & drama were also taught. ALL FREE OF COST!! In 2001, the school was shifted to Shahid Smriti Colony, another slum in the southern fringe of the city and is still running there. 10 years later, we are now registered under the society registration act. **We are dreaming of setting up an ARTS VILLAGE where learners would be able to learn various forms and streams of plastic and performing arts residentially. We are in search of land in serene rural areas not far from Calcutta. We need everybody's help and guidance. In a traditional Bengal-village, a Gram is divided into several PARAs (colonies) like Kumor-para (potters' colony), Kamar para (ironsmith-colony), Chashi-para(farmers' colony) etc. Likewise, we would like to set up Nritya-para(dancers' colony), Sangit para (singers' colony), Natya para (theatre colony) etc. along with an ECO TOURISM PARK to run the total infrastructure where both the teachers and the students should reside. In short, we would shily confess that we dream of setting up a "POOR MAN'S SHANTINIKETAN". Please bless us with your warm support and then only WE SHALL OVERCOME.
