A walk down the memory lane...
Journey of MVSD
THEN
This is what Gurgaon looked like in the late 1980s
Maruti Vihar Sarbojanin Durgatsav Committee (MVSD) has been synonymous with Gurgaon’s growth from a sleepy small town to the bustling Metropolis that it is today.
NOW
Luckily for us, our Puja Venue is today the best-located one in Gurgaon, being just 300 Metres from the Malls on M.G.Road, the Shopping destination of millions. It also has the best connectivity with Delhi- NCR, as the M.G.Road Metro Station is also within 350 Metres from our Venue.
The Gurgaon of Today
MVSD Legacy
MVSD, the third oldest Community Durga Puja organizers in Gurgaon, was founded in the year 1991, to start the Pujas among the Bengalis who had migrated to Gurgaon from various parts of India in search of work. Initially the committee comprised of members from Maruti Vihar and surrounding localities of DLF, Sushant Lok, and Saraswati Vihar.
The first president of this committee was Mr. Sunil Guha. He had a vision of bringing all the Bengalis together to spread the joy of Durga Puja, which they all missed in this distant land! He also had the vision that it would encourage teamwork and social bonding among the Bengali and other communities who also celebrated Navratri at the same time of the year.
Vasudhaiva kutumbakam
When they started the journey there were only 80 to 90 members from Maruti Vihar, DLF, Sushant Lok & Saraswati Vihar which increased further when residents of Chandra Lok joined the Pujas. The First Durga Puja started with a Budget of just Rs 1,25,000/- and Expenses were Rs 98,000/- . The number of members have swelled over the years. In 2014, our members had grown to over 1000 families and our Budget had swelled to Rs 15 lacs. As we enter 2015, our 25th Golden Jubilee year, our ambition is to increase our Budget to Rs 25 lacs and induct new members.
We wish to thank all our members and a everyone who has helped us reach this far in our Journey!
