Overview

Nazrul Smriti Sangsad (NSS) is a social development organization named in memory of Nazrul Islam, a progressive student leader of Barisal B.M. College and a journalist of the Daily Ittefaq, who fought against poverty and for a society’s equal rights. Preserving warm gratitude to his memory, his political followers, friends, admirers, and well‑wishers established a sports and cultural organization named Nazrul Smriti Sangsad.

In response to the needs of the time, Nazrul Smriti Sangsad adopted the slogan “People Participation for Social Change” and began implementing socio‑economic programs. Today NSS operates in the coastal areas of Barishal Division and several districts and sub‑districts prone to disasters and climate change risks, as well as the Dhaka City Corporation.
