Since 1981, Bharatiya Gorkhali Welfare Association (BGWA), a social non-political outfit based in Bangalore has been working extensively for a progressive Gorkha community.
From helping those in need, to providing insurance for low income personnel or sponsoring and mentoring under privileged students, BGWA has been the forefront force for welfare activities.
In 2008, it organized the first "Gorkha Saanjh" in Bangalore to a rousing reception.
Now, for the first time in Bangalore, BGWA is organizing "Gorkha Mela" on 31st May 2009.
A full day's event at Nandan Football ground, Austin Town, the mela will be a pot-pourri of "Fun, Frolic and Games, Skit and Cultural Performances" and the crowd favorite, "Gorkhali Khana".
There are over 20 games in the list including traditional games such as "Khopee", "Hooplah" and the interesting "Weigh the Bhaaley" competition.
Donor passes are currently available at a nominal price of Rs. 100 which includes game coupons worth Rs. 90 .
To avail donor passes, please contact bgwabangalore@gmail.com and someone will call you back. Note that tickets are not available at the venue.
