Mission
To promote cultural, educational, literary and religious traditions of Bengal, primarily within the communities of Bengali speaking people residing within the Midwestern states of America.

History
Since 1991, Bengali speaking families of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska are getting together during Durga Puja festival in Wichita. A need for an association has been felt as a vehicle for promoting Bengali cultural activities in the midwestern states.
During 1995 Durga Puja festival in Wichita, a consensus was formed to organize an association. An association by the name Sangam was formally formed at a meeting held on November 18, 1995, at Dr. Ashim Mitra's residence in Overland Park.
