About Us
Reclaiming Bihar’s Cultural and Intellectual Legacy
Founded in 2008, Sandhan is a non-governmental organization dedicated to reviving Bihar’s cultural, historical, and intellectual identity. From ancient universities to rural artistry, we celebrate the timeless soul of Bihar while empowering communities for the future. Through grassroots programs, research, and cultural initiatives, we aim to bridge the wisdom of the past with the needs of the present.
Our efforts are rooted in the belief that Bihar’s legacy is not a relic, but a roadmap to inclusive progress. From the profound philosophies of Nalanda to the intricate designs of Madhubani, each element tells a story that deserves recognition and revival. We work hand-in-hand with local scholars, artists, educators, and youth to reignite cultural pride and civic consciousness.
Sandhan serves as both a platform and a movement — enabling collaboration, inspiring dialogue, and shaping a renewed narrative for Bihar. With every initiative, we aim to restore dignity, preserve heritage, and foster a shared vision for a culturally vibrant and socially responsible Bihar.

Our Mission
To Reconnect Bihar with Its Roots
Our mission is to reclaim and revitalize Bihar’s cultural, intellectual, and historical legacy. We are committed to empowering youth and communities through education, civic awareness, and cultural pride. By promoting forgotten traditions, unsung heroes, and local histories, we aim to reconnect Bihar with its roots and inspire change. Our work bridges grassroots development and public policy, ensuring progress that is inclusive and culturally grounded. Through every initiative, we strive to foster civic responsibility and pride in Bihar’s identity.
What We Do
Cultural Renaissance Through Action
We are committed to preserving Bihar’s rich heritage by restoring ancient monuments, sacred temples, and vanishing folk traditions. Through documentation, community involvement, and expert collaboration, we safeguard the tangible and intangible cultural assets that define our identity. Our conservation efforts ensure that future generations can connect with Bihar’s spiritual and artistic legacy.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that change begins with young minds. We engage students through heritage education programs, interactive workshops, field visits, and cultural walks that bring history to life. By cultivating awareness and pride in Bihar’s contributions, we inspire youth to become informed, responsible, and culturally rooted citizens.
Our team actively researches and archives the hidden narratives of Bihar — from ancient philosophies to freedom fighters, unsung heroes to regional movements. Through publications, digital storytelling, and collaborations with historians, we bring forgotten histories to light. This helps rebuild a collective identity and positions Bihar within the broader story of India’s evolution.
Sandhan thrives on partnerships with grassroots stakeholders. We collaborate with local artists, educators, scholars, and reformers to strengthen civic engagement and cultural dialogue. Through training programs, art revival projects, and awareness campaigns, we foster community ownership in cultural preservation and inclusive development.
Our cultural festivals, exhibitions, seminars, and public events celebrate the vibrancy of Bihar’s living traditions. These platforms bring people together, promote local talent, and amplify regional stories. Whether it’s a heritage walk, a folk art showcase, or a discussion forum — every event becomes a step toward unity, pride, and revival.
Why It Matters
Because Bihar Deserves to Be Heard Again
Bihar is more than history — it’s a living, breathing legacy. From the teachings of Nalanda to the brushstrokes of Madhubani, Bihar holds untapped potential to lead with culture, resilience, and knowledge. Sandhan’s efforts are a call to action: to preserve, to celebrate, and to proudly say — “This is Bihar.”
