CELEBRATING RESPONSIBILITY BEYOND FESTIVITIES
What made this year’s Sharad Pushpanjali Samman particularly meaningful was the remarkable enthusiasm, responsibility and commitment demonstrated by participating Puja committees towards eco-conscious celebrations.
The initiative witnessed an encouraging spirit among organisers who recognised that the true beauty of Durga Puja lies not only in magnificent idols, artistic pandals and vibrant festivities, but also in the responsibility we share towards our environment and future generations.
The dedication shown by the Puja committees towards environmentally responsible celebrations is truly commendable. Their willingness to embrace ecological awareness while preserving the grandeur and cultural essence of Durga Puja reflects a positive and inspiring transformation in Kolkata’s festive landscape.
The most encouraging observation this year was that excitement and responsibility were not competing priorities — they complemented each other beautifully.
A RECOGNITION THAT GOES BEYOND AWARDS
Sharad Pushpanjali Samman believes that environmental consciousness should not remain confined to a theme or decoration. It must become an integral part of how festivals are planned, organised and celebrated.
The awards recognise the importance of responsible material choices, waste management, recycling, safety, resource conservation and post-festival environmental accountability.
The initiative aims to inspire more Puja committees to adopt sustainable practices without compromising the artistic excellence, community participation and cultural heritage that make Kolkata’s Durga Puja extraordinary.
A MESSAGE OF APPRECIATION
“We are truly overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility demonstrated by Kolkata’s Puja committees this year. Their commitment towards eco-conscious celebrations deserves recognition and appreciation. What inspires us most is that these organisers have shown how cultural grandeur and environmental responsibility can coexist. Sharad Pushpanjali Samman 2026 is not just about honouring winners; it is about celebrating a collective commitment towards a greener, more responsible future.”
