D.S.C.AZAD CUP-2024
From the Desk of Hon'ble Secretary
First,I wish to convey my sincere thanks and gracious compliments to all my club members as well as apex body
members who have been continuously accelerate their support and cooperation since my inclusion to this enormous sports activity. I also wish all
the inhabitants of Bhagwanpur irrespective of religion, culture, food habits and lifestyle a very happy and warm welcome
to our club organization to enjoy the taste of sports culture as well as social bonding.
The journey started in the late seventies i.e. in 1979 when the foundation of the club was laid down with a
prospect of "go-ahead without fear" principle. Time was gradually passing with activities in sports arena at the same time
diferrent social and cultural steps had been adopted togrow up as a unit in the name of success of the whole humanity.Years
had been passing by with some small achievements in the field of games and sports also in social and cultural ground.
In 2008, there was a massive, devastating flood.The whole part of Purba and Paschim Medinipur district of
West Bengal state was inundated. We, all the club members had been busy helping helpless and wretched people from their hapless
condition. Our extreme effort to sort out so many problems of the flooded people was praiseworthy. But, I, personally think
it was only a mere step until those people were able to come out to the usual habit of day to day life.Our trying had been
constantly non-stop to make a normal daily life where we, too, tried to make some entertainment in the form of organising
games and sports, social donations, cultural amusements among all segment of people in our area.
The name "Bachhipur Azad Sangha" finally came into existence officially as it had got the registration
from the government of West Bengal in 2009. The lone registration number is S/1L/69383.After this governmental authentication
we never looked back. We started conducting Free Medical Camp run by a board of skilled doctors from Bengalurru's Sparsh hospital,
organized Blood Donation camp, distributed garments to poor people, offered essential books to helpless but meritorious students,
arranged religious communication by observing various festivals and melas to protect cultural sentiments among all section of
people in our locality, did green plantation, made drinking water supply and hygenic sanitation in our area, organising a
massive football tournament later named the "AZAD CUP", also entertained people with volleyball tournament,
Inter-school Quiz competition, annual games and sports events among younger segment of the society. The abovesaid
AZAD CUP has gradually been accumulating its credibility and popularity as this has got some prestigious and
fabulous star-studded presence of such footballers as Mehtab Hossain(captain,East Bengal; player,Kerala Blasters),
Syed Rahim Nabi(East Bengal), footballer Lousiano Sabrosa, the great Jose Rmirez Barreto( the 'Sabuj Tota'),
Odafa Okolie(the highest paid footballer in India ever). Besides, celibrity from Tollywood cum MP of Birbhum, Satbdi Roy;
Sisir Adhikary,MP of Kanthi; Sukesh Jain,IPS,Purba Medinipur and so many MLAs and political dignities regularly put their
dust onto the stage of AZAD CUP every year to enjoy the football in the famous Hazi Maidan in our club premises.
This is needless to say the AZAD CUP is incomplete and no more fulfilled without the endless labour and dilligence
from all members of club, groundsmen, decorators, gardeners, sound-service providers and undoubtedly the last but not the least all
the beloved people of Bhagwanpur. I personally thank those peole who are somewhere connected with the grace and essence of the
AZAD CUP.
In near future, we are very much keen to stick to our oath to make some really exeptional
activities for the sake and welfare of the local people, to raise our voice for the betterment of our society,
to maintain and balance the communal harmony in our locality, to help others in their sorrow and pity ,
to shape our local world highlighted into the global world.
I hope we all are coordinated and united enough to make such things possibly happened.
