Nikhil Bharat Banga Sahitya Sammelan was founded in New Delhi and its first annual convention in 1923 was presided over by Kaviguru Rabindranath Thakur. Under the patronization of great Bengalee literary personalities like Atul Prasad Sen, Kazi Nazrul Islam and others, the Sammelan has reached its maturity having its branches in each and every major cities and towns of India. Its activity in serving Bengali literature and Bengalee culture outside Bengal is spread over almost all the states of India.

Apart from publishing regular Bengali journal “Sammelani” from the centre and also from many branch offices, it organizes cultural and literary programmes throughout the year. Annual convention is being held every year at different parts of the country. The idea is to enrich Bengali literature and its culture by exchanging views and resources with other Indian counterparts.
