Welcome to SCSS
An organisation of a different style. Sonarpur Club Samannay Sammilani began its journey in 1988 with a simple vision and an even simpler dream. Through all our walks and experience since then, we have realised that we are destined for a long road: the horizon keeps expanding and our dreams keep maturing.
Samannay Bhaban, the home of our organisation, has become a dear and familiar name to everyone in Sonarpur. We enjoy their trust, we feel their hope, and so we act.
