New Delhi: Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Monday released a First day Cover issued of the Postal Department to commemorate 75 years of Banga Maitri Sansad (BMS). 

According to a press release, the cover was released in an event held at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai on Monday, May 9, 2022.

“There are many cultures and sub-cultures in different parts of India and all of them join together to build what we call the Indian culture. It is a matter of pride that both our national anthem and national song were penned in Bengali. Rabindranath Tagore's literary work remains alive. I urge you to keep his ideals alive in the society too. This year we are celebrating Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and it is a nice coincidence that Banga Maitri Sansad is also celebrating its 75th year this year. I believe BMS will go from strength to strength as we walk ahead to our future," Koshyari said in a statement. 

“At BMS, we remain committed towards working for social and economic upliftment of the marginalised and poor. We will partner with the government and non-government organisations on various programmes on social and environmental causes, and also contribute towards cultural enrichment of this great state," Bivas Chakraborty, General Secretary, Banga Maitri Sansad (BMS) said. 

Patrons and members of BMS, as well as top officials from the Department of Posts, attended the unveiling event.

Veena Srinivas, Chief Postmaster General, Maharashtra Circle; Swati Pandey, Postmaster General, Mumbai Region; and Ms. Shilpa Rane, Assistant Director of Postal Services, Mumbai Region were among the dignitaries present.
