With every Indian reveling in pompous celebrations of our Independence Day, an obscure housing estate at Sahebpara Railway Colony in Bandel, Hooghly was not to have experienced any act of difference unless “ AROHEE “ came into being on very day on a little corridor in an apartment.
That was our beginning, the beginning of a journey that had to specific objective of accomplish at the onset. Only the passion of a group of few like minded contemporary youth gave birth to “ AROHEE” an abode of culture in and around Bandel-Hooghly as well as in certain other parts of West Bengal had inspired us and set aground ready for
“AROHEE” to take off. Subsequently, many extra ordinary talents have joined and enriched us. Great sacrifices of many benevolent souls have obliged and glorified us
“AROHEE” since birth, has contained itself basically in the one act play culture. Alongside,it has also successfully organized a number of street-dramas, seminers,workshops,children’s theatre, festivals etc.The success story of ‘AROHEE’ so far goes : One-act play 17, Street Drama 7, Children’s Play 3.
“AROHEE’ treads on any stage set anywhere in India, any time and on any occasion regardless of whether it is in Kolkata or in an obscure and remote village.
